The ICC is still in its establishment phase. It has not yet reached its full judicial workload.
Without sufficient resources will not be able to conduct its work effectively.
Governments must give the ICC the resources it needs to deliver meaningful justice.
We work to ensure that governments’ financial contributions allow the Court to function independently, fairly and effectively.
Comprised of leading NGO experts, our Team on Budget and Finance coordinates substantial input to the development and adoption of the ICC’s budget each year.
The Team urges the Court to deliver a rigorous, disciplined budget based on transparent practices, strategies and assumptions.
Given the wide-ranging nature of this matter, the budget Team relies on input from many of our other Issue Teams.
The Team also coordinates civil society advocacy with states on the ICC budget.
International criminal investigations, prosecutions and trials cannot be conducted effectively unless they are supported through field presence, witness protection, legal aid, outreach and victim participation activities. The ICC budget must reflect these needs.
We encourage governments to pay their contributions in a full and timely manner.
ICC states parties pay a yearly contribution based on their gross national income.
The ICC registrar coordinates the initial drafting of the Court’s budget, which is then approved by the Assembly of States Parties (ASP) at each of its annual meetings.
A subsidiary expert body of the ASP—the Committee on Budget and Finance—assists with this complex budgeting process throughout the year. Our Budget Team actively monitors every step of the process.
