[Stakeholder report] More attention needed to local stakeholders' and affected communities' engagement with the ICC

The Asser Institute and Amnesty International jointly released the report The Rome Statute at 40. It contains key findings and recommendations by experts and stakeholders on the future of the ICC and the ‘system’ of international justice created by the Rome Statute, the treaty that established the court. To improve the effectiveness of the ICC, the court and all its stakeholders should consider how more local stakeholders and affected communities can better engage with the court, the report finds.
