Strengths and weaknesses of ICC
Questions and Answers
Strength 1: Rome statute 1998 - answer Establishes first permanent treaty based
court for international crimes
Rules for states to cooperate with ICC
Encourages cooperation
'Court of Last Resort'

Example of successful conviction of ICC: - answer 2014: Germain Katanga
Congolese warlord in DRC
12 years
Crimes against humanity and war crimes during Congo civil war

Weakness 1: limits to sentencing powers - answer Sentencing doesn't seem to be a
reflection of crimes- too short
Can't try for crimes before 2002 unlike UN tribunals
No police force relies on states domestic police/military to cooperate to enforce
indictments and be effective

Example of limit to sentencing powers: - answer 2012: Thomas Lubyanga Dyilo
DRC warlord
14 years for human rights abuses
Released 2020 only served 8 years

Strength 2: jurisdiction of ICC - answer 124 countries ratified Rome statute and
accept ICC's jurisdiction

Example of jurisdiction when state not part of ICC - answer 2023: Indictment of Putin
Although Russia not member of ICC Putin was still able to be indicted

Weakness 2: limits to jurisdiction - answer ICC extremely subservient to states
States determine it's effectiveness as have to cooperate in order for ICC to be
successful- no coercive power

China, Russia, US and India all do not recognise ICC jurisdiction meaning 70% of
world's population outside of jurisdiction

All convictions are African- limits to jurisdiction AU told members not to recognise ICC-
neo-colonial
Omar Al-bashir went to South Africa 2015 (Member of ICC) should've arrested him but
didn't ignoring ICC
