Relationship to the UN: NOT a UN organ. An independent court created by treaty (the Rome Statute, 1998; in force 2002), in The Hague, governed by its roughly 125 member states. It has a cooperation agreement with the UN, and the UN Security Council can refer situations to it or defer an investigation for 12 months. It tries INDIVIDUALS for genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and aggression. Israel and the United States are not members. Issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant (and Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif) in November 2024.
