When you hear about global conflicts, you might wonder who holds individuals accountable for the most horrific acts. The International Criminal Court (ICC) plays a crucial role, but its authority and impact are far more complex than you might imagine.
The ICC is trending because it recently sought arrest warrants for top leaders, including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar.
ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan announced on May 20, 2024, his office was seeking these warrants for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in the Gaza conflict.
