1 answer
Article 12 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court outlines the criteria for a state to become a party to the court. It states that any state can become a party by ratifying the statute or by acceding to it. The state must also deposit an instrument of ratification or accession with the United Nations Secretary-General. Additionally, states that are not party to the statute can accept the jurisdiction of the court on an ad hoc basis.
