Summary

In this chapter I apply the framework developed in Chapter 3 to the ICC Detention Centre. The chapter opens with an overview of who the ICC detains, and how the Detention Centre is managed. Then I identify the human rights obligations of the ICC and discuss the potential for human rights violations in connection with ICC detention. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to the myriad of accountability mechanisms available to ICC detainees: the administrative appeals procedure, pre-trial and appeals chambers, the Independent Oversight Mechanism, and domestic courts. Despite some promising aspects, these accountability mechanisms are also insufficient.
