The International Criminal Court was established as a tribunal to try offenders for four major crimes. Criminals who commit crimes in a nation that recognizes the International Criminal Court’s jurisdiction may face charges. Therefore, the International Criminal Court can only take on certain cases where the offender is a national of the country or if the crime was committed on its soil if nations choose to submit to its jurisdiction. The cases may be referred by the country directly to the International Court of Justice or though the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, who is the person appointed to try cases on behalf of the International Criminal Court.
