Recently on @AsymmetricalH, experts @leilasadat1 @PillaiPriy explained the need, progress and work ahead for an international treaty on crimes against humanity, which will be discussed in the UN Sixth Committee this Thursday, Oct. 10 ⚖️

It’s hard to believe there’s no treaty (yet) for Crimes against Humanity — but the cogs are finally turning, and the implications it could have for gender justice are exciting.

Having received a referral from a State Party, the ICC Prosecutor proceeds to evaluate any information to determine whether there is a "reasonable basis" to believe crimes within the Court's jurisdiction have been committed, and to proceed opening an investigation.

RS Art. 53:

[ICC Project @ABAICCProject]

Today: Lithuania requested the ICC OTP to investigate alleged crimes against humanity committed in the Republic of Belarus (a non-ICC State party), stating that part of the elements of the alleged crimes was committed on the territory of Lithuania (an ICC State Party).

Referrals from States Parties (where the alleged crimes were either committed on the territory of a State Party or by its nationals) are one of three ways alleged atrocity crime situations can come within ICC jurisdiction.

As we celebrate the 26th anniversary of the #ICC Rome Statute on #InternationalJusticeDay (17 July), the @intlcrimcourt faces serious & concerning threats to its independence & global mandate.

States must act in defense of the Court's mandate & victims’ equal access to justice.

[Int'l Criminal Court @IntlCrimCourt]

#OnThisDay 22 years ago: the #ICC was officially established.

📷 1 July 2002: Over 60 States ratified the #RomeStatute, bringing the international treaty into effect and creating the ICC. Since then, 120+ States became parties to the Statute.
