Role of the International Criminal Court
The gist
The International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutes individuals for serious international crimes like genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
Explain like I'm 5
Imagine a big school where if someone breaks very serious rules that hurt lots of people, the teachers (the ICC) step in to make sure they get punished fairly.
Big picture
The ICC helps hold powerful people accountable when their own countries can't or won't, promoting global justice and helping prevent future atrocities.
