This article analyzes the foundations of the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its role in ensuring global justice. Based on the Rome Statute (1998, effective from 2002), the court’s main functions include investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and acts of aggression. The study emphasizes the ICC’s contribution to ending impunity, restoring victims’ rights, shaping international legal standards, and promoting global peace. At the same time, the paper critically discusses certain limitations of the ICC, such as the absence of major powers as members, political pressures, and the length of proceedings. The research concludes that the ICC plays a vital role as the ‘court of last resort’ in upholding justice for the gravest crimes against humanity.References
