ICC Assembly of States Parties Takes Action on Outstanding Arrest Warrants

The 23^rd session of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP or Assembly) to the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC or Court) was held from December 2 to 7, 2017, in the Hague.[1]

One of the sessions was devoted to cooperation. It offered an opportunity for an enhanced dialogue between States Parties, the Court, and members of civil society on voluntary cooperation, as well as a more technical discussion regarding how States Parties can strengthen their support for the Court with existing tools. Following the debate, an “omnibus” resolution was drafted, submitted, and adopted at the end of the ASP session.
