So, how does the ICC actually work? Well, it's pretty straightforward: when a country or the United Nations Security Council refers a case to the ICC, the court's prosecutor starts investigating to see if there's enough evidence to bring charges. It's like a big detective story, where the prosecutor has to gather clues and build a case against the accused, and then present it to the court for a verdict.
The ICC has 18 judges from different countries, who are like a team of super-judges with expertise in international law. They hear the cases, weigh the evidence, and decide whether the accused is guilty or not guilty. It's a pretty serious process, but it's also kind of like a global trial, where the whole world is watching to see justice being done.
