In this two-part episode, host Elisa is accompanied by Cora True-Frost of Syracuse University's College of Law, to uncover the inner workings of the ICC—its organizational framework, extensive jurisdiction, and the intricate processes involved in investigating and prosecuting war crimes. Together, they shed light on the vital role played by the ICC in upholding accountability and seeking justice for victims worldwide.
