It has been several months that numerous states have expressed their disappointment and enmity toward the International Criminal Court (ICC), announcing their withdrawals or nullifying their signatures on the Rome Statute that established the Court.

How should the ICC and the states supporting it respond to this? What measures should be adopted in order to prevent a contagious effect?

The panel will debate these questions, followed by a discussion with the public.
