International Criminal Court (ICC) in Model UN
The International Criminal Court tries individuals, not states, for genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. Created by the Rome Statute of 1998, it is based in The Hague and is not part of the UN. In Model UN the ICC runs either as a trial, with delegates as prosecutors, defence counsel or judges, or as a debate among states.

ICC in Model UN: questions and answers
How many delegates are in an ICC committee?
The ICC itself has 18 judges, and three of them sit as the Trial Chamber that hears a case. ICC simulations on mymun filled about 12 seats.
How is the ICC different from the ICJ?
The ICC tries individuals and has a prosecutor, while the ICJ hears cases between states and cannot try anyone. The ICJ is a principal organ of the UN, and the ICC is an independent court with its own treaty.
Is the ICC a good committee for beginners?
It is a hard first committee: the prosecution carries the burden of proof, and each charge must meet the Rome Statute's definition of the crime, which takes careful legal reading.
What topics do ICC committees take up in Model UN?
Many are mock trials of a named defendant, such as the cases against Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo and Germain Katanga.
Can school students join an ICC?
Yes. 18 of the 22 upcoming conferences with an ICC take high school delegates, and 5 are for school students only.
