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 Court”, 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.

Anti-Genocide Action Tracker: Genocide Scores for Every Legislator and State

Challenges Entered: 
GenocideScores.org would provide four main assets to the anti-genocide community: Aggregate anti-genocide data. Not only records on Darfur legislation, but on any anti-genocide bills relating to our areas of concern, or recognition of historical genocides such as in Armenia. Each state would also display its status on divestment and genocide education. Subsequent campaigns could also be added.Clear illustrations of legislative status. Instead of simply being an entry on a scorecard, each bill would have its own graphical timeline, and members would be able to track progress of a bill through e-mail alerts or RSS feeds.Most importantly, cross-indexing, allowing specific alerts to be generated for members based on location. When a bill is coming up for a vote in Congress and a senator from Connecticut is the key vote, Connecticut members automatically receive an alert. When a divestment or genocide education rally is planned at the Nevada statehouse, all Nevadans on the site know about it. This information — where geographical power lies in each case — is viewable on the bill's timeline, so members can notify their friends in CT or NV of the need to take action.Finally, embeddable badges to allow people to display the current genocide score of their state and district.
