International Criminal Justice

International Criminal Justice refers to a system of laws and courts that hold individuals accountable for serious crimes that affect the global community, such as war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. It aims to ensure that violators face justice, regardless of where the crimes were committed or the nationality of the perpetrators. This system promotes global justice by fostering accountability, deterring future atrocities, and providing a legal framework for victims to seek redress. Key institutions include the International Criminal Court (ICC) and various ad hoc tribunals established to address specific conflicts.
