Cases before the International Criminal Court


So far, the International Criminal Court opened investigations in ten situations: two in the Central African Republic; Côte d'Ivoire; Darfur, Sudan; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Georgia, Kenya; Libya; Mali; and Uganda. Additionally, the Office of the Prosecutor is conducting preliminary examinations in ten situations in Afghanistan; Burundi; Colombia; Gabon; Guinea; Iraq / the United Kingdom; Nigeria; Palestine; registered vessels of Comoros, Greece, and Cambodia; and Ukraine.

The Court's Pre-Trial Chambers publicly indicted 39 people. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for 31 individuals and summonses to eight others. Seven persons are in detention. Proceedings against 22 are ongoing: nine are at large as fugitives, four are under arrest but not in the Court's custody, eight are at trial, and one is appealing his conviction. Proceedings against 17 have been completed: three have been convicted, one has been acquitted, six have had the charges against them dismissed, two have had the charges against them withdrawn, one has had his case declared inadmissible, and four have died before trial.

As of September 2010, the Office of the Prosecutor had received 8,874 communications about alleged crimes. After initial review, 4,002 of these communications were dismissed as "manifestly outside the jurisdiction of the Court".

Notes

The Prosecutor may open an investigation under three circumstances:

Of the nine cases that the Prosecutor has investigated to date, five were referred by states parties, two were referred by the Security Council, and two were authorised by the Pre-Trial Chamber to open an investigation, based on information received from other sources.
