IJCentral: A Movement to Support Global Rule of Law
Challenges Entered:
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the culmination of a 50-year movement to create the first permanent court established to prosecute perpetrators (no matter how powerful) of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. But in its first cases the ICC urgently needs cooperation from the international community to fulfill its justice mandate as it confronts an entrenched culture of impunity. Currently 108 countries are members of this treaty-based court, but powerful nations China, Russia and the U.S. have not ratified the treaty, known as the Rome Statute.
IJCentral: A Movement to Support Global Rule of Law
Challenges Entered:
IJCentral, in tandem with documentary film “The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Courtâ€, will be the core of a social network for global justice to combat the entrenched culture of impunity for crimes against humanity, implementing a multi-platform citizen engagement strategy using geolocated mobile phone SMS text messages, to build a worldwide constituency for the rule of law visualized on the IJC Map. Success will be an active global constituency supporting the justice mandate of the ICC, to prosecute perpetrators of the worst crimes, no matter how powerful.
