American Non-Governmental Organizations Coalition for the International Criminal Court

These organizations may have sharply differing views on other political and social issues, but hold that the ICC expresses and implements values traditionally championed by the United States, including international justice and the rule of law.

Together they work effectively to promote a Court which implements their common intense opposition to international atrocities and to holding accountable those most responsible for them.

Through broad alliances of the legal, academic, human rights and faith-based communities, they coordinate activities in the support of the Court and act as a resource for those seeking information about the movement for the ICC.

To inform others about some of the moral, ethical and religious considerations involved in the ICC, the Network holds frequent group meetings and plans events that will bring these issues to the attention of a wider audience.

The following issues are among those that have been and will be discussed by the working group in their meetings as well as in their open events and dialogues: moral, ethical and theological imperatives and the importance of the ICC as a powerful representation of these values; moral, political and ethical dimensions of impunity, reconciliation, and long term peace building; individual and collective healing in society; redressive justice relationships between confession, repentance, compensation and forgiveness issues of psychological and spiritual rehabilitation.
