context_page_description: The International Criminal Court was created on 1 July 2002. It investigates and punishes people for genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. It is sometimes called the ICC or the ICCt.
  The ICC's main office is in The Hague in The Netherlands. It has smaller offices in New York City, Kampala, Kinshasa, Bunia, Abéché and Bangui.
  The ICC is different from the International Court of Justice. The main difference is that ICJ settles arguments between countries, but the ICC punishes people.
context_section_description: On 1 January 2008, 105 countries were members of the ICC. These countries have a duty to help the ICC.
  Nearly all the countries in Europe and South America are members, and about half the countries in Africa are members. Only a few countries in Asia have joined.
