Resumen de Discretion and state influence at the international criminal court: The prosecutor's preliminary examinations
In November 2016, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) at the International Criminal Court (ICC) produced an extensive report documenting the status of ten “preliminary examinations” it is conducting.
