The Role and Impact of the International Criminal Court in Global Justice

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the function and influence of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in advancing worldwide justice by conducting a qualitative analysis of structured interviews with 31 participants. The research subject centers around the identification of the obstacles and possibilities encountered by the ICC in carrying out its duty to prosecute individuals accountable for grave international crimes, all the while fostering accountability and reconciliation. Data was gathered through structured interviews with individuals who had expertise in international law, human rights, and related disciplines, using a qualitative research approach. The sample consisted of persons who have competence in academia, legal advocacy, and human rights groups. The findings uncover various significant themes, including obstacles such as political intervention, limitations in resources, and perceptions of prejudice, as well as prospects for improving victim involvement, outreach initiatives, and collaboration with local stakeholders. The paper closes by highlighting the significance of tackling these problems and utilizing possibilities to enhance the efficiency of the ICC in achieving global justice and accountability.
