Victim Participation Rights before the International Criminal Court

By Patrick Bashizi Bashige Murhula

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a permanent international judicial tribunal which plays a vital role in combating international crimes. It was established in 1998 by the international community after much effort and negotiation. The creation of the ICC made a significant change in International Criminal Justice. The Rome Statute instituted the ICC as a lasting organisation with authority over persons committing international crimes. The Rome Statute of the ICC has been designed as a broad victims' participation scheme. Even though it is addressed as a significant and effective mechanism for giving victims of international crimes a voice, the procedural and substantive detail are far from being settled. The aim of this book is to give a critical overview of victims' participatory scheme within the ICC. It analyses what meaningful participation denotes and the interpretation of victims' participatory rights at the ICC.
