The Netherlands, explained

ICC (Internationaal Strafhof)

The International Criminal Court is a permanent court in The Hague that prosecutes individuals for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. It is separate from the International Court of Justice, the UN court that settles disputes between states. Because its seat is in The Hague, measures against the court also affect the Netherlands directly.
