Does the ICC’s involvement in situations and cases constitute an intervention? In describing the Court’s involvement in cases and situations, use of the term intervention. As Palestine came to the ICC as a State Party, why did it also come forward with a declaration? Should the ICC be active in peacekeeping, peace-building, or the resolution of conflicts?
