UN Secretariat and Other Bodies
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, standing next to CICC Convenor William Pace, attends a CICC reception to celebrate the entry into force of the Rome Statute. The dynamic environment made possible by a global campaign involving thousands of large and small NGOs, governments, the United Nations, academics and others allows numerous educational and professional learning opportunities.
This section includes statements and reports relevant to the ICC from the UN Secretariat, including UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UN Deputy Secretary-General Dr. Asha-Rose Migiro, as well as from other UN bodies, such as the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
