International Criminal Law is a body of law that addresses serious crimes that affect the global community, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It aims to hold individuals accountable for these offenses, regardless of where they occur, and seeks to promote justice and deter future violations.
This area of law is primarily enforced through international tribunals, such as the International Criminal Court (ICC), which prosecutes individuals accused of committing these grave crimes. Additionally, many countries have incorporated elements of international criminal law into their domestic legal systems to ensure accountability at both national and international levels.
