The General Assembly,

resolutions,
Recalling also that the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court 1
reaffirms the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations,
Recognizing the International Criminal Court as an independent permanent
judicial institution and, in this regard, that the United Nations and the Court respect
each other’s status and mandate,
Reiterating the historic significance of the adoption of the Rome Statute,
Emphasizing that justice, especially transitional justice in conflict and postconflict societies, is a fundamental building block of sustainable peace,
Convinced that ending impunity is essential for coming to terms with any past
crimes committed and preventing such crimes in the future,
Acknowledging the fact that the International Criminal Court has achieved
considerable progress in its investigations and judicial proceedings in various
situations and cases which were referred to it by States parties to the Rome Statute
and by the Security Council, and which the Prosecutor of the Court has initiated
proprio motu, in accordance with the Rome Statute,
Recalling that effective and comprehensive cooperation and assistance in all
aspects of its mandate by States, the United Nations and other international and
regional organizations remain essential for the International Criminal Court to carry
out its activities,
