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.
