International Criminal Court

http://www.bahai.us/international-criminal-court

The National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha'is of the United States, the religious community’s national governing body, is a founding member of the Washington Working Group for the International Criminal Court (WICC) and the American Coalition for the International Criminal Court (AMICC).


Both WICC and AMICC are committed to achieving full U.S. support for the world's first permanent court. The International Criminal Court was established in 2002 in The Hague, Netherlands, to try individuals accused of committing genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes.

A Baha'i representative serves as co-chair of the Faith & Ethics Network for the ICC. The Network is an international interfaith coalition created to promote awareness of the Court and to support justice and reconciliation efforts in countries where the ICC is prosecuting and conducting investigations.
