Can The International Criminal Court Prosecute War Crimes In Ukraine?

The video discusses the International Criminal Court (ICC), its formation, jurisdiction, and challenges. The ICC, based on the Rome Statute, addresses grave crimes like genocide and war crimes. It faces limitations due to its reliance on member countries for enforcement and the absence of major powers like the US and Russia. The principle of complementarity restricts ICC's actions unless a country is unable or unwilling to prosecute. Challenges include lack of a police force and geopolitical issues. Despite these, the ICC shows commitment, especially in Ukraine, where it has been active since 2014.
