The International Criminal Court (ICC) has, to date, opened cases exclusively in Sub-Saharan Africa.

As of October 2010, 114 countries-including 31 African countries, the largest regional block-were parties to the Statute. The United States is not a party. This report provides background on current ICC cases and examines issues raised by the ICC's actions in Africa.
