The International Criminal Court hears cases of the gravest breaches of international law, specifically cases of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and crimes of aggression. A case can be brought to the ICC if one or both parties is a national party to the Treaty of Rome. A case can also be recommended by the UN Security Council through a mandatory Chapter Seven resolution bypassing the signatory to the Treaty of Rome requirement.

∙ 14y agoAccording to the International Criminal Court (ICC) website (please see related links) the ICC is an "independent, permanent court that tries persons accused of the most serious crimes of international concern" and is based in the Hague in The Netherlands.
These crimes include:
- Genocide
- Crimes against humanity
- War crimes
- Crimes of aggression*
*As of December 2009, this cannot currently be tried at the court as a formal definition of the crime of aggression is yet to be made.
The ICC is a court of last resort and normally only acts in the most serious of cases which other countries are unable or unwilling to investigate or prosecute.
