This short article first outlines the process that lead to the entry into force of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) on July 1, 2002. The document then discusses the range of crimes, the issue of victim and witness protection, the staffing on the Court and the selection of judges, along with the importance for Canada of fashioning a permanent ICC Statute that reflects the full range of gender issues relevant to modern conflict and human rights abuses.
