ICC TODAY
 ICC is one of the few organizations that can hold presidents,
ministers and similar officers individually responsible for crimes
 2/3rds of votes needed to take action
 If the ICC does not have jurisdiction over a certain country (like
Syria), the UN can still give it permission to become involved.
Nevertheless the UN is failing to do so.
 When the person who committed the crime cannot pay, the ICC
will provide the money from it‟s trust fund
