The International Criminal Court, governed by the Rome Statute, is the first permanent, treaty-based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. It is an independent organization and is not part of the United Nations system. It is based in The Hague in the Netherlands. The Rome Statute was adopted in 1998, and entered into force on 1st July 2002, after being ratified by 60 countries.
