What is the Prepcom and What is it Doing?
The Preparatory Commission (Prepcom) is a body of states given a mandate by the United Nations to negotiate outstanding issues relating to the Rome Statute for the ICC after the completion of the July 1998 negotiations in Rome. The 8th session of the Preparatory Commission for the International Criminal Court was held in New York from September 24, 2001 to October 5, 2001. At this session the Commission continued its negotiations on the financial rules and regulations for the court, the relationship agreement between the court and the United Nations, the assembly of state parties, privileges and immunities, and the crime of Aggression.
During the June 2000 sessions of the Preparatory Commission the Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the Elements of crimes for which the ICC will have jurisdiction were adopted.
Human Rights Watch has participated actively at all the previous sessions of the PrepCom.
