Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
PREAMBLE
The States Parties to this Statute, 
Conscious that all peoples are united by common bonds, their cultures pieced together in a shared heritage, 
and concerned that this delicate mosaic may be shattered at any time, 
Mindful that during this century millions of children, women and men have been victims of unimaginable 
atrocities that deeply shock the conscience of humanity, 
Recognizing that such grave crimes threaten the peace, security and well-being of the world, 
Affirming that the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole must not go 
unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at the national level 
and by enhancing international cooperation, 
Determined to put an end to impunity for the perpetrators of these crimes and thus to contribute to the 
prevention of such crimes, 
Recalling that it is the duty of every State to exercise its criminal jurisdiction over those responsible for 
international crimes, 
Reaffirming the Purposes and Principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and in particular that all 
States shall refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence 
of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations, 
Emphasizing in this connection that nothing in this Statute shall be taken as authorizing any State Party 
to intervene in an armed conflict or in the internal affairs of any State, 
Determined to these ends and for the sake of present and future generations, to establish an independent 
permanent International Criminal Court in relationship with the United Nations system, with jurisdiction 
over the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole,
