ABSTRACT
This research work is an examination of International Criminal Court and its effectiveness in trials of crimes of genocide. The research took an insightful look into the concept of the crime “Genocide”. It also looks at how well the International Criminal Court has affected the provisions of the Statute of the International Criminal Court as well its inabilities and lapses in capacity to handle bulk cases at once. The creation of the International Criminal Court is a milestone in the efforts for an effective protection of human rights and in the endeavour to bring to justice all those who are responsible for international crimes. But the ICC cannot cope with all international crimes and is not even designed to do so. To further the impact of positive complementarity, including technology-driven innovations, the International community, in particular the UN, can mainstream accountability measures for core international crimes into its technical assistance and capacity developing programmes in its subject matter areas including human rights, legislative reform, child soldiers, women and humanitarian issues. Coordination, cooperation and planning amongst agencies should be driven by thorough analysis of the need of national justice sectors and reflective of cost effective methods of delivery.
