Key issues  

1.  What is the International Criminal Court (ICC) review conference? 

The review conference is a meeting of the States Parties to the Rome Statute (the treaty establishing the ICC). The main purpose is to consider amendments to the Rome Statute. A secondary aim is to assess the Rome Statute system under the theme of ‘stocktaking’. The conference is taking place as a result of a requirement under the Rome Statute that a conference to consider amendments be held seven years after the statute entered into force (2002). 

2.  When and where will it take place? 

The conference will take place from May 31-June 11, 2010 in Kampala, Uganda. It will be held at the Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort (www.munyonyocommonwealth.com). A range of information on the conference is available at the following websites: http://www.icc-cpi.int/Menus/ASP/; http://www.iccnow.org/?mod=review; http://www.iccuganda2010.ug/
