The International Criminal Court (2): Referrals and Investigations

Since the entry into force of the Rome Statute, in 2002, five situations are being investigated by the Court, all of which are in Africa. Three States Parties — Uganda, Democratic Republic of the Congo and Central African Republic — have referred situations occurring on their territories, and the Security Council, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, has referred a situation on the territory of a non-State Party, Darfur, Sudan, in accordance with Article 13 (b) of the Rome Statute.
