CHILE EBOE-OSUJI, President of the International Criminal Court, said the organization and the United Nations – “members of the same family” – share the same philosophy of multilateralism.  The need for both institutions emanated from the horrors of the Second World War, with the early work of the International Law Commission laying down the foundation upon which the Court would later be built.  Peoples of the world want international cooperation, the eradication of violence and conflict and human rights for all.  “That is the future that the [International Criminal Court] strives to foster through the rule of law, accountability, prevention of atrocities and justice for victims,” he said, adding that the United Nations plays an indispensable role in achieving a better future for humanity.
