International Criminal Court's Role, Investigations, and Notable Suspects Explained
The International Criminal Court (ICC), established in 2002, prosecutes individuals for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression when member states cannot or will not act. With 125 member states and a 2026 budget of about 196 million euros, the ICC is investigating cases in regions including Palestine, Ukraine, Africa, Venezuela, Myanmar, and the Philippines. Notable suspects include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Russian President Vladimir Putin, both denied jurisdiction by their countries, which are not ICC members.
