II. Summary of the Strategic Plan

The Strategic Plan consists of a mission statement, goals, and objectives. The mission statement provides that, “the International Criminal Court will:

  • Fairly, effectively and impartially investigate, prosecute and conduct trials of the most serious crimes;

  • Act transparently and efficiently; and

  • Contribute to long lasting respect for and enforcement of international criminal justice, to the prevention of crime and to the fight against impunity.”

    The goals which support the mission statement are stated as:

     

  • Quality of justice;

  • A well-recognized and adequately supported institution; and

  • A model of public administration.

    Objectives are listed under each goal in bullet-point format. Approximately thirty objectives are provided, divided into short-term (one- to three-year) and long-term (four- to ten-year) objectives.11
