The correct statement is:

It tries individuals for crimes against humanity when countries are unable or unwilling to do so.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) is tasked with addressing serious international crimes, including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. It operates on the principle of complementarity, meaning it only intervenes when national jurisdictions are unable or unwilling to prosecute these crimes effectively.
