Background: Adopted on 17 July 1998, the Rome Statute (https://www.ICC-CPI.Int/RomeStatute20) is the founding treaty of the International Criminal Court, supported by over 120 countries. The International Criminal Court (https://www.ICC-CPI.int/) is the first permanent international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community, namely war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and the crime of aggression. The Rome Statute has also established the Trust Fund for Victims (https://www.ICC-CPI.int/TFV#_blank) with a two-fold mandate: (i) to implement Court-Ordered reparations and (ii) to provide physical and psychological rehabilitation, and material support to victim survivors, their families, and affected communities.
