Abstract

This paper examines the concept of Victim Participation in the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its impact on international justice. Victim Participation, enshrined in the Rome Statute, grants victims a role in ICC proceedings, departing from earlier international tribunals. The paper discusses the rise of Victim Rights globally and its challenges, including a growing number of participation applications. It addresses concerns about balancing victim claims, accused's fair trial rights, and evidence protection. While emphasizing the importance of Victim Participation, the paper underscores the vital role of Victim Participation in the ICC, providing a platform for victims' voices to be heard and contributing to the Court's credibility and success and for a more systematic approach to ensure fairness and maintain the ICC's credibility
