ICC collected more evidence in last 18 months than in past 20 years, says chief prosecutor
The International Criminal Court (ICC) has collected more evidence and information in the past 18 months than it has in the 20 years since it was founded.
ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan emphasized the court’s recent intense efforts during his address at the 23rd session of the Assembly of States Parties to the ICC’s Rome Statute.
Non-governmental organizations and victims submitted a large number of documents and evidence under Article 15 of the Rome Statute.
Of the 30 arrest warrants issued by the court, the chief prosecutor said 18 were issued within the last three years.
He touched on the importance of working and acting together to better fulfill the court’s purpose and the tasks assigned to it under the Rome Statute.
On Nov. 21, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
