This is the seventh in a series of eight articles on the International Criminal Court. The Rome Statute creating the ICC entered into force on July 1, 2002 and the court is now in its 20th year. To mark the occasion, The Wire published a series of articles evaluating its performance over the past two decades. The Wire is a renowned and credible online newspaper/magazine that is non-profit and independent. This seventh article examines the issue of state cooperation with the ICC and how it poses a challenge in dispensing international justice. It argues that States are opposing and undermining the ICC through their non-cooperation precisely because they feel threatened by its capability to prosecute their top leaders for the most serious crimes under international law. This should be a shot in the arm for believers of justice and accountability to extend their support to and strengthen the ICC, helping it overcome its shortcomings.
