ICC Prosecutor’s statement at FIDH International Forum in the context of its 38th Congress, Istanbul, 23 May 2013
Today, the International Criminal Court is at the centre of international criminal justice, the main purpose of which is to ensure accountability for serious crimes that shock the conscience of humanity. Compared to its predecessors, the ad hoc tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the ICC is a young institution. It is still striving to find its rightful place in the complex world of international real politics.
