The correct answer is (a) 15 Judges.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an independent court that investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals accused of the most serious crimes of international concern, namely genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression.
The ICC consists of 15 judges elected by the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute, the ICC’s founding treaty. The judges are elected for a non-renewable term of nine years.
The ICC’s judges are elected from among persons of high moral character, impartiality and integrity who possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for appointment to the highest judicial offices. They must also have extensive experience in criminal law and procedure and in international law.
The ICC’s judges are responsible for ensuring that the Court’s proceedings are fair and impartial. They also have the power to issue arrest warrants and to order the surrender of suspects to the Court.
The ICC’s judges play a vital role in ensuring that justice is served for the most serious crimes of international concern.
