While there is still much to be done in the struggle for Human Rights, the gruesome details of Human Rights abuses are becoming the exception, while societal and economic stability and growth are becoming the rule. In this context, the International Criminal Court plays a critical role in protecting and advancing environments conducive to human security, dignity and growth.
