Mission: Outreach

Engaging with people most affected by crimes

Outreach

A channel of communication

The face of the Court

A view into the courtroom for the communities

An interlocutor - to inform and to listen

Presence on the ground and at the ICC

Available at the Court’s headquarters in The Hague.

Building bonds every day

For the communities affected by crimes under investigation and on trial

ICC Outreach promotes access to justice for survivors of mass crimes and other members of the affected communities. Every day, Outreach keeps alive the dialogue with people whose lives were touched by the conflicts finding new ways to inform communities and professionals alike.

No matter how far victims might be from the Court, the ICC Outreach acts as the extension of the courtroom’s public gallery. Why do we do it? People most affected by the crimes have the right to understand, to participate in, and to have a sense of ownership of the justice process.

The Court engages with these communities directly, in local languages. We talk, exchange views, respond to questions, address concerns and provide people with information to promote understanding throughout the stages of the judicial proceedings.
