Since the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 1998, its intentions were to create international justice and contribute towards world peace. However, some arguments suggest that the ICC has accomplished neither due to many obstacles such as limited resources, bias against Global South countries, manipulations of some states and institutional restrictions to name a few. On the other hand, many other opinions argue the contrary and states that, the ICC has contributed to world peace and justice by making examples of prosecuting perpetrators and having a system of accountability in place amongst others? This paper will look at both arguments and discuss the underlying issues behind the two opposing opinions. In doing the above, this thesis will explore the functional strength of the ICC as an institution.
