COMMITTEE DESCRIPTION
The International Criminal Court (ICC) sees delegates collaborate in teams of four to prosecute or defend one side of a case dealing with matters such as genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes. Teams produce written legal research briefs prior to the conference that serve as the foundation for their arguments. When a team’s case is not being heard, delegates act as judges for the other four cases being debated by the committee, following the legal sides of the arguments being made to render their verdicts.
ICC BRIEF
Each team must complete a brief – due December 1st
Specific instructions for the brief can be found in the ICC Brief Manual.
