International Criminal Court (www.iccnow.org)
This site is the primary non-government organization provider of online information about the future International Criminal Court. The International Criminal Court (ICC) will be a permanent court for trying individuals accused of committing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The ICC will be formally established after 60 countries have ratified the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
The USA has refused to recognize that court. ( www.lchr.org/protect/aspaupdate.htm)
The establishment of that court began in 1945, and up to now it is not yet functional.
It is not yet clear how this court will guarantee total and unconditional impartiality and objectivity.
It is doubtful that the court will be able to consider cases against individuals members of governments of the 'super-powers' like the USA, Russia, etc. And, if the effective jurisdiction of the court will be confined only to those countries, which are small and are out of favor with the super-powers, then will such court be an instrument of justice?

International Court of Justice (www.icj-cij.org)
The jurisdiction of that court is limited to resolution of disputes between states, members of the United Nations and Switzerland. The court has no jurisdiction to hear cases brought by individuals and non-governmental groups against established governments.

International Criminal Court for the Former Yugoslavia (www.un.org/icty)
This court was set up by the United Nations Organization (www.un.org).
The powers of the court are limited to prosecution of persons responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in the territory of the former Yugoslavia since 1991.
