The International Criminal Court: A bulwark for victims of crimes

Brahima SAKO
Long ignored in international criminal proceedings, victims are now at the heart of these proceedings. The advent of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has encouraged their consideration as participating victims. However, this participation is still subject to compliance with the rules set out in the Court's texts. It is not enough for a natural or legal person to claim to have suffered harm in order to be granted the right to participate in proceedings. They must first demonstrate that their harm results from a crime within the jurisdiction of the ICC. Once admitted to participate, the victim is provided with representation services that allow him or her to make his or her views and concerns heard. Indeed, taking into account the context of the crimes referred to the jurisdiction of the Court, mechanisms have been provided to facilitate the filing of their applications, as well as their participation in the proceedings themselves.
