International Criminal Law (ICL) is a branch of law that deals with crimes of an international concern, such as genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and piracy. It is a relatively new field, with the first international criminal tribunal being established only in the 1990s. However, ICL has since become a vital part of the international legal system, and it plays a crucial role in promoting accountability for the most serious crimes.
