where we work

With a presence in every region, and through dozens of national Coalitions...
we coordinate the work of civil society fighting for justice through the Rome Statute system.
our activities around the world

Knowledge of and support for the ICC varies across the world. But victims continues to demand accountability for grave crimes.

Our act we coordinate the work of civil society fighting for justice through the Rome Statute system to:

  • Increase ICC membership;

  • Promote national prosecutions of grave crimes;

  • Improve state cooperation with the ICC;

  • Mainstream accountability in regional bodies;

  • Build public support for justice and accountability.

civiil society in different regions

AFRICA

African states and civil society were instrumental in pushing for the establishment of the ICC—support reflected in the large number of ICC member states and highly active civil society. With our local partners, we are working to ensure victims’ demands for justice are met in national courts and through the ICC.

EUROPE

It is no coincidence that Europe, the continent whose wars gave rise to the idea of international justice, is among the best represented regions at the ICC. Yet much work remains to be done in advancing national laws to prosecute grave crimes. We also work in close collaboration with the European Union.

the middle east & north africa

The Middle East and North Africa is the most underrepresented region at the ICC. Given its turbulent political context and widespread abuses against civilians and others, it is vital that more countries in the region join the ICC system. Civil society in the region is working tirelessly to build awareness of the benefits for peace that ICC membership can bring.
