The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) is primarily over crimes committed within the territory of a state party or by a national of a state party to the Rome Statute, which established the ICC. Additionally, the Court can exercise jurisdiction if a situation is referred to it by the United Nations Security Council, regardless of the state’s party status. The ICC focuses specifically on four core international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression.
