Our unique Coalition model is designed to maximize the expertise and impact of our 2500 global civil society members. We share information and resources, strategize jointly, and campaign together to affect change with one strong voice.
Partnership
The Coalition works closely and collaboratively with a range of different actors and entities in the international justice sphere. These actors include the organs of the ICC and ASP, as well as the broader network of governments, the UN, regional organizations, the media, and many other institutions, to advance the effectiveness, independence, and accessibility of the international justice system, and to respond to the most urgent atrocity-related developments.
Core principles
The Coalition does not require consensus from all member organizations on every issue; we take action on core common principles in which there is widespread agreement among civil society membership.
Neutrality
The Coalition takes positions on key issues that impact the Rome Statute system and other strategic international justice actions. We do not take a position on specific investigations, cases before the Court, or on individual candidates for elections of judges or other officials. We serve as a resource for member organizations to develop their own positions and provide a platform to allow all voices to be heard.
Unique access and position
The Coalition is uniquely positioned to have measurable impact on international justice issues through relationships with governments, the UN, regional organizations, the Court, and other institutions. Our work bridges the traditionally separate tracks of government diplomacy and civil society advocacy, allowing us to utilize official and other strategic connections to produce a more effective and impactful outcome.
Leverage
We utilize the power of global civil society to maximum effect, ensuring that the voices of both small and large organizations from every region have an impact on the larger landscape.
Results not credit
We are focused on results in the fight against impunity and encourages others to share or take ownership of successes. We act in partnership with organizations and entities around the globe to integrate international justice goals into existing and evolving structures, often working behind the scenes to ensure best practices.
Confronting challenges
We acknowledge the imperfections and evolving nature of current international justice efforts and seek solutions to make the system more effective, independent, and accessible.
