The Reckoning: The Battle for the International Criminal Court

The relentless pursuit of justice by an International Criminal Court prosecutor drives the effort to bring war criminals and genocide perpetrators to account.

In the late 20th century, over 120 countries came together to create the International Criminal Court (ICC),a permanent and independent court to prosecute perpetrators of crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The ICC's prosecutor, Luis Moreno Ocampo, and his team worked for three years across four continents, issuing arrest warrants, putting warlords on trial, and challenging the UN Security Council to arrest Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir for genocide.
