How to Catch a War Criminal: Inside the International Criminal Court

In the labyrinthine halls of international justice, the pursuit of war criminals unfolds through a meticulous process. The International Criminal Court (ICC), established to hold accountable those responsible for atrocities such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, employs a complex web of investigations, prosecutions, and arrests. At the heart of this endeavor lies the Office of the Prosecutor, a team of investigators and lawyers who traverse the globe, gathering evidence from survivors, witnesses, and confidential sources. Collaborating with national and regional authorities, they build airtight cases that aim to bring perpetrators to justice, regardless of their power or influence.
