The International Criminal Court (ICC) is participating in the global fight to end impunity. Through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent these crimes from happening again. The Court cannot reach these goals alone. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute, the ICC is the world's first permanent international criminal court. The Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) is an independent organ of the ICC. It is responsible for examining situations under the jurisdiction of the Court where genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes appear to have been committed, and for carrying out investigations and prosecutions against the individuals who are allegedly most responsible for those crimes.
