The list of people who have been indicted in the International Criminal Court includes all individuals who have been indicted on any counts of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, or contempt of court in the International Criminal Court (ICC) pursuant to the Rome Statute. An individual is indicted when a Pre-Trial Chamber issues either an arrest warrant or a summons after it finds that "there are reasonable grounds to believe that the person has committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the Court".[1] An arrest warrant is issued where it appears necessary "to ensure the person's appearance at trial, to ensure that the person does not obstruct or endanger the investigation or the court proceedings, or, where applicable, to prevent the person from continuing with the commission of that crime or a related crime which is within the jurisdiction of the Court and which arises out of the same circumstances".[1] The Pre-Trial Chamber issues a summons if it is satisfied that a summons is sufficient to ensure the person's appearance.[1] Individuals can only be charged with genocide, crimes against humanity, or war crimes. Although mentioned in the Statute, the Court cannot currently prosecute individuals for the crime of aggression. While this crime has been defined at the Review Conference of the Rome Statute in 2010, the conditions for the ICC to exercise jurisdiction are not yet fulfilled.

Overview

To date, the ICC has opened investigations into nine situations (shown in the table below under the column titled S) in: the Democratic Republic of the Congo (1); Uganda (2); the Central African Republic I (3); Darfur, Sudan (4); the Republic of Kenya (5); Libya (6); the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire (7); the Republic of Mali (8); and the Central African Republic II (9).[2] The ICC has publicly indicted 39 people. The ICC has issued arrest warrants for 31 individuals and summonses to eight others. Seven persons are in detention. Proceedings against 25 are ongoing: nine are at large as fugitives, four are under arrest but not in the Court's custody, two are in the pre-trial phase, seven are at trial, and one has been convicted and is awaiting sentencing. Proceedings against 14 have been completed: two have been convicted, one has been acquitted, four have had the charges against them dismissed, two have had the charges against them withdrawn, two has had his case declared inadmissible, and three have died before trial.

The list below details the counts against each individual indicted in the Court and his or her current status. The column titled G lists the number of counts (if any) of the crime of genocide with which an individual has been charged. H list the number of counts of crimes against humanity and W the number of counts of war crimes. C lists the number of counts of contempt of the Court and other offenses against the administration of justice. Note that these are the counts with which an individual was indicted, not convicted.

List of indictees

Bahr Abu Garda

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Bahr Abu Garda was indicted on 7 May 2009 on three counts of war crimes with regard to the situation in Darfur, Sudan. Abu Garda was alleged to have been a commander of a splinter group of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), a rebel group fighting in the Darfur conflict against the Sudanese government. He was accused of leading JEM forces under his command (in conjunction with other rebel forces) in a raid on the Haskanita base of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) on 29 September 2007, in which 12 AMIS peacekeepers were killed and eight were seriously injured; the base was also extensively damaged.[36] Abu Garda was accused of being criminally responsible for murder, pillaging, and "intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, materials, units and vehicles involved in a peacekeeping mission".[36] Abu Garda was summoned to appear before the Court on 18 May 2009 and the confirmation of charges hearing was held from 19 October 2009 to 30 October 2009. On 8 February 2010 Pre-Trial Chamber I ruled that the charges against him would not be confirmed.[35] On 23 April 2010 Pre-Trial Chamber I rejected the Prosecutor's application to appeal its decision, thus ending the proceedings in the case.[73]

Mohammed Ali

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Mohammed Ali was indicted on 8 March 2011 on five counts of crimes against humanity with regard to the situation in the Republic of Kenya. Ali, who at the time was the Commissioner of the Kenya Police, was alleged to have conspired with Francis Muthaura, an adviser of Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki, to order the police forces that he commanded not to intervene in stopping violence perpetrated by Mungiki forces loyal to President Kibaki during post-election violence from 27 December 2007 to 29 February 2008.[45] Ali was alleged to be criminally responsible for murders, deportations, rapes and other forms of sexual violence, persecutions, and other inhumane acts perpetrated by Mungiki against civilians who were perceived to be loyal to the Orange Democratic Movement (the political party of President Kibaki's rival) in the towns of Kibera, Kisumu, Naivasha, and Nakuru.[45] Ali was summoned to appear before the Court on 8 April 2011 and the confirmation of charges hearing was held from 21 September 2011 to 5 October 2011, in conjunction with the cases against Muthaura and Uhuru Kenyatta. On 23 January 2012, Pre-Trial Chamber II decided not to confirm the charges against Ali, thus ending the proceedings against him.[44]

Abdallah Banda

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Abdallah Banda was indicted on 27 August 2009 on three counts of war crimes with regard to the situation in Darfur, Sudan. Banda is alleged to have been a commander of a splinter group of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), a rebel group fighting in the Darfur conflict against the Sudanese government. He is accused of leading JEM forces under his command (in conjunction with other rebel forces) in a raid on the Haskanita base of the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS) on 29 September 2007, in which 12 AMIS peacekeepers were killed and eight were seriously injured; the base was also extensively damaged.[39] Banda is accused of ordering murders, pillaging, and "intentionally directing attacks against personnel, installations, materials, units and vehicles involved in a peacekeeping mission".[39] Banda was summoned to appear before the Court on 17 June 2010 and the confirmation of charges hearing was held on 8 December 2010, in conjunction with the case against Saleh Jerbo. On 7 March 2011 Pre-Trial Chamber I confirmed all the charges against him.[37] On 11 September 2014, Trial Chamber IV replaced the summons to appear with an arrest warrant and suspended the case until Banda appears in court.[38]

Omar al-Bashir

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Omar al-Bashir was indicted on 4 March 2009 on five counts of crimes against humanity and two counts of war crimes with regard to the situation in Darfur, Sudan.[34] On 12 July 2010 he was additionally charged with three counts of genocide.[33] During the Darfur conflict (specifically from April 2003 to 14 July 2008), al-Bashir, from his position as President of Sudan, is accused of implementing a government policy that used the state apparatus (the military, police, security, and Janjaweed forces) to attack Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa populations that were perceived to be sympathetic to rebel groups. Al-Bashir is accused of ordering the rape, murder, extermination, forcible transfer, and torture of civilians, as well as the pillaging of numerous villages and camps.[34] Additionally, he is accused of intending to partially destroy the Fur, Masalit, and Zaghawa ethnic groups by killings, "causing serious bodily or mental harm", and "deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about physical destruction" of the ethnic groups.[33] The Court has issued two arrest warrants for al-Bashir and he is currently a fugitive openly living in Sudan, where he serves as President. As such Sudanese state policy has been not to cooperate with the Court. Since the warrants have been issued, al-Bashir has traveled to several other countries and has not been arrested. Among the counties he traveled to include Chad, Kenya, Djibouti, and Malawi which are states parties to the Rome Statute, and were therefore obligated to have arrested him.[74][75][76][77] On 26 March 2013, Pre-Trial Chamber II made a finding that Chad had failed to cooperate with the Court and therefore referred the non-compliance to the Security Council.[78] On 5 September 2013, however, Pre-Trial Chamber II found that a similar visit to Nigeria did not constitute non-compliance, but it requested Nigeria "to immediately arrest Omar Al Bashir and surrender him to the Court should a similar situation arise in the future".[79]

Jean-Pierre Bemba

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Jean-Pierre Bemba was indicted on 23 May 2008 on two counts of crimes against humanity and four counts of war crimes with regard to the situation in the Central African Republic (CAR).[80] On 10 June 2008, the arrest warrant was amended and the charges changed to three counts of crimes against humanity and five counts of war crimes.[32] Bemba is alleged to have led the Movement for the Liberation of the Congo (MLC), a Congolese rebel group, into the CAR after Central African President Ange-Félix Patassé sought Bemba's assistance in suppressing a rebellion led by François Bozizé. Bemba was accused of being criminally responsible for acts of rape, torture, "outrages upon personal dignity", murder, and pillage that occurred in the towns and cities of Bangui, Bossangoa, Bossembélé, Damara, and Mongoumba from 25 October 2002 to 15 March 2003.[32] Bemba was arrested in Belgium on 24 May 2008, transferred to the Court's custody on 3 July 2008, and first brought before the Court the next day. The confirmation of charges hearing was held from 12 to 15 January 2009, and on 15 June 2009 Pre-Trial Chamber II partially confirmed the charges against Bemba, finding that he would stand trial for two counts of crimes against humanity and three counts of war crimes. Specifically, Pre-Trial Chamber II declined to confirm the charges of torture or "outrages upon personal dignity".[81] The trial against Bemba began on 22 November 2010 and is ongoing.[31]

Charles Blé Goudé

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Charles Blé Goudé was indicted on 21 December 2011 with four counts of crimes against humanity with regard to the situation in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. As the leader of the Congrès Panafricain des Jeunes et des Patriotes, the youth organization that supported Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo, Blé Goudé is alleged to have been "an indirect co-perpetrator" in Gbagbo's organized plan of systematic attacks against civilians in and around Abidjan, including in the vicinity of the Golf Hotel, during post-election violence that began on 28 November 2010. Fighters under the command of Gbagbo are alleged to have murdered, raped, persecuted, and inhumanly treated civilians who were perceived to be supporters of Alassane Ouattara, Gbagbo's opponent in the 2010 presidential election.[61] Blé Goudé was arrested on 17 January 2013 in Ghana, and extradited to Côte d'Ivoire the next day.[82] On 22 March 2014, the Ivorian government transferred Blé Goudé to the Court's custody.[59] He arrived at the Court's detention center in The Hague on 23 March.[60] The confirmation of charges hearing was held from 29 September to 2 October 2014, and on 11 December 2014, the Pre-Trial Chamber confirmed all the charges against Blé Goudé, thereby committing him to trial.[83] On 11 March 2015, the Trial Chamber joined the cases against Blé Goudé and Laurent Gbagbo.[84]

Ahmad al-Faqi

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Ahmad al-Faqi was indicted on 18 September 2015 with ten counts of war crimes with regard to the situation in Mali.

It is alleged that between about 30 June 2012 to 10 July 2012 he directed attacks against at least nine mausoleums (including one which is a World Heritage Site) and one mosque in the city. He was indicted for the war crime of "intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion and/or historical monuments."[72] On 26 September 2015 he was transferred by the government of Niger to the custody of the Court, and arrived the same day at the detention center in The Hague.[71] He will make his first appearance before the Court on 30 September 2015.[85]

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Muammar Gaddafi was indicted on 27 June 2011 on two counts of crimes against humanity with regard to the situation in Libya. As the Leader of the Revolution (the de facto head of state) and Commander of the Armed Forces of Libya he allegedly planned, in conjunction with his inner circle of advisers, a policy of violent oppression of popular uprisings in the early weeks of the Libyan civil war.[52] He allegedly formulated a plan in response to the 2011 Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions whereby Libyan state security forces under his authority were ordered to use all means necessarily to quell public protests against his government.[52] From 15 February 2011 until at least 28 February 2011, forces from government-organized militias, the national police, the Libyan Armed Forces, the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and other security services, acting under Gaddafi's orders, allegedly murdered hundreds of civilians and committed "inhuman acts that severely deprived the civilian population of its fundamental rights" in the cities of Ajdabiya, Bayda, Benghazi, Derna, Misrata, Tobruk, and Tripoli.[52] Gaddafi was killed in the Libyan city of Sirte on 20 October 2011 and the Court terminated proceedings against him on 22 November 2011.[51]

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was indicted on 27 June 2011 on two counts of crimes against humanity with regard to the situation in Libya. Although not an official member of the Libyan government, Saif al-Islam Gaddafi is alleged to have been the de facto prime minister and the "unspoken successor and the most influential person" to Muammar Gaddafi, the de facto head of state.[54] Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, in conjunction with Muammar Gaddafi and his inner circle of advisers, allegedly planned a policy of violent oppression in response to the 2011 Tunisian and Egyptian revolutions that was implemented in the early weeks of the Libyan civil war. From 15 February 2011 until at least 28 February 2011, forces from government-organized militias, the national police, the Libyan Armed Forces, the Revolutionary Guard Corps, and other security services allegedly followed the policy and used all means necessarily to quell public protests against Muammar Gaddafi's government. They allegedly murdered hundreds of civilians and committed "inhuman acts that severely deprived the civilian population of its fundamental rights" in the cities of Ajdabiya, Bayda, Benghazi, Derna, Misrata, Tobruk, and Tripoli.[54] Saif al-Islam Gaddafi was detained by members of a revolutionary militia on 19 November 2011 near the Libyan town of Ubari and taken to the city of Zintan.[53] In 2012, Libyan authorities stated their intention to try Gaddafi in Libya.[86] However, on 10 December 2014 the Pre-Trial Chamber found Libya in non-compliance with several of its orders, including an order to transfer Gaddafi to its custody, and accordingly it referred Libya to the Security Council.[87]

Laurent Gbagbo

<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>

Laurent Gbagbo was indicted on 23 November 2011 on four counts of crimes against humanity with regard to the situation in the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire. As the President of Côte d'Ivoire, Gbagbo is alleged to have organized, along with members of his inner circle, systematic attacks against civilians during post-election violence that began on 28 November 2010.[58] National security forces, the National Armed Forces, militias, and mercenaries under the command of Gbagbo are alleged to have murdered, raped, persecuted, and inhumanly treated civilians who were perceived to be supporters of Alassane Ouattara, Gbagbo's opponent in the 2010 presidential election.[58] According to the arrest warrant for Gbagbo, the crimes occurred in and around Abidjan, including in the vicinity of the Golf Hotel, and in the western part of the country from 16 December 2010 to 12 April 2011.[58] Gbagbo was detained by forces loyal to Ouattara in the presidential residence on 11 April 2011.[88] On 29 November 2011, Gbagbo was transferred to the Court.

On and around 24 February 2003, he is alleged to have ordered his forces to attack the village of Bogoro in a military operation coordinated with the Nationalist and Integrationist Front (FNI), an allied armed group composed mostly of members of the Lendu ethnicity. The target of the attack was alleged to have been both the village's predominantly Hema civilian population and the base of the Hema armed group, the Union of Congolese Patriots (UPC), located in the center of the village. Katanga is alleged to be responsible for the resulting crimes committed by FRPI and FNI fighters, including the intentional attack on the civilian population of Bogoro, the destruction and pillaging of Bogoro, the killing of at least 200 civilians, the use of child soldiers during the attack, rape, outrages upon personal dignity, "inhumane acts of intentionally inflicting serious injuries upon civilian residents", and "cruel treatment of civilian residents of, or persons present at Bogoro village […] by detaining them, menacing them with weapons, and imprisoning them in a room filled with corpses".[25]
