Preparatory Committee

From 1996 to 1998, six sessions of the UN Preparatory Committee were held at United Nations headquarters in New York to work on a draft statute to establish a permanent international criminal court; a first draft had been produced by the UN�s International Law Commission. In addition to providing input into the discussions, NGOs attending these meetings under the umbrella of the NGO Coalition for an ICC (CICC) advocated for a diplomatic conference to be held to finalize the treaty.
