Side Event at the ICC Assembly of States Parties on Upcoming ICC Review
The Hague, Netherlands, Dec. 2, 2019 - Together with the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) and Human Rights Watch, the ICC Project (ABA’s Criminal Justice Section and Center for Human Rights) cosponsored a side event at the 18th Assembly of States Parties of the International Criminal Court. Mindful of the court-wide review process (which was authorized by States Parties later in the week), the side event, titled “A Civil Society Conversation on ICC Review: Towards a Victim-Centered Assessment of ICC Performance,” brought together a diverse group of experts and advocates to highlight the unique perspectives that victims, affected communities, and civil society organizations can contribute to an ICC review process.
