Under the Rome Statute, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in The Hague can launch an investigation unless there is no reasonable basis to believe that crimes falling under the ICC jurisdiction have been committed: to establish which crimes do fall under their jurisdiction, consult the Rome Statute:
The International Criminal Court (ICC), governed by the Rome Statute, is the first permanent, treaty based, international criminal court established to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. The ICC is an independent international organisation, and is not part of the United Nations system. Its seat is at The Hague in the Netherlands. Although the Court’s expenses are funded primarily by States Parties, it also receives voluntary contributions from governments, international organisations, individuals, corporations and other entities.
