Legal Framework of Rome Statute
The legal framework of Rome Statute is based on respect for individual rights and freedoms and included mechanisms to ensure impartial justice. According to the preamble to the Rome Statute, the primary mandate of the ICC is “to put an end” to impunity for the perpetrators of “unimaginable atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity.” The ICC and the UN Security Council (International Criminal Court and the United Nations Security Council) both are governing body of this legal framework, ultimately concerned with the peace, security and wellbeing of the world. Rome Statute
On 17 July 1998, a conference of 160 States established the first treaty-based permanent international criminal court. The treaty adopted during that conference is known as the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Among other things, it sets out the crimes falling within the jurisdiction of the ICC, the rules of procedure and the mechanisms for States to cooperate with the ICC. The countries which have accepted these rules are known as States Parties and are represented in the Assembly of States Parties.

The Assembly of States Parties, which meets at least once a year, sets the general policies for the administration of the Court and reviews its activities. During those meetings, the States Parties review the activities of the working groups established by the States and any other issues relevant to the ICC, discuss new projects and adopt the ICC’s annual budget.
