Starting Monday, May 31st, the International Criminal Court (ICC) held its first-ever Review Conference in Kampala, Uganda, affording the opportunity for States Parties to amend the Rome Statute since its creation in 1998. Up to 2,000 participants from around the world–key actors in international relations, high-ranking government officials, court leaders, non-state actors, United Nations representatives, and more than 500 NGO representatives–will assess the ICC’s impact on communities and victims plagued by mass atrocities, its influence on developing and strengthening domestic justice systems, its ability to punish effectively and resolve conflict, and both member and non-member State cooperation towards the Court.
