Abstract
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a highly significant judicial entity worldwide, created to ensure the accountability of individuals responsible for the gravest international crimes ever committed. The establishment of this court serves the objective of addressing a significant void in situations where states are incapable or unwilling to prosecute the accused within their own national judicial systems. Truly, this global tribunal was founded pursuant to the Rome Statute in 1998, which became effective in 2002. Given its implementation of retributive labor and advocacy for global accountability, numerous inquiries have emerged regarding its efficacy and efficiency. To accomplish this, it is necessary to assess the court's performance in recent years, analyze various elements of its work, and demonstrate the efficacy of its legal procedures and the efficiency of its response to challenges posed by member states and international groups. The study concentrates on comprehending the establishment of the ICC and delineating its constituent organizations and jurisdictions. Next, the researcher analyzes the system's performance by considering its handled cases and assessing how much it has contributed to improving worldwide trust in the international justice system.
