Direct Link to Full 262-page 2013
Report Card:
The Gender Report Card 2013 provides an overview of all Situations and cases before the Court, and outlines and analyses charges brought by the Office of the Prosecutor for gender-based crimes. It summarises the most significant developments within the unprecedented number of trials underway or awaiting judgement before the Court during 2013. For the first time, the Gender Report Card 2013 contains a section highlighting developments in the Court’s ongoing appeals proceedings.
The Gender Report Card 2013 also covers other issues of note in relation to the participation, protection and support of victims and witnesses, including changes to the victim participation application process and the allegations of sexual violence committed against witnesses under the Court’s protection, as well as the ICC’s response to these allegations.
Additionally, the Gender Report Card 2013 provides a comprehensive analysis of important developments during the ASP, including the proposal and ultimate adoption of three amendments to the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, as well as the adoption of a resolution that fully operationalised the Court’s Independent Oversight Mechanism.
Departing from previous editions, the Gender Report Card 2013 does not contain a section on Structures and Institutional Development. Given that two editions of the Gender Report Card will be published during 2014 on an exceptional basis, structures and institutional development will be comprehensively addressed in the 2014 issue of the Gender Report Card, which will be launched during the Assembly of States Parties in December 2014.
