Abstract
International Criminal Court that was to be governed by the Rome Statute. The fundamental aim to establish the court at the end of Cold War was to help end impunity for the perpetrator of the most heinous crimes, such as, matters of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. However, since its establishment, the tribunal established by the ICC is facing various challenges to deal with war crimes and in prosecuting individuals who have committed war crimes. The paper deliberates upon the successes and failures of the ICC and particularly highlights the war crimes committed in Darfur and Uganda. The examples of Sudan and Uganda have been discussed in detail and in doing so, an attempt has been made to assess whether this leading judicial body has been able to achieve its goal of deterring individuals from committing crimes and other brutalities or not. Towards the end of the study, recommendations are put forward for an unbiased and effective functioning of the court.
