Today, the International Criminal Court (“ICC” or “the Court”) formally launches consultations on the zero draft version of the ICC’s first comprehensive Court-wide Strategy on Gender Equality and Workplace Culture (find it here). The consultations will run until 9 March 2022. All input will be considered in further developing the zero draft version of the Strategy, which is proposed as part of the institution’s ongoing efforts to advance and strengthen gender equality and workplace culture at the ICC.
Taking a planned and comprehensive approach to these two topics, the Strategy takes into account internal ICC commitments and needs, as well as recent evolutions across work environments around the world.
The zero draft Strategy has been shared internally with all ICC personnel, and is now being circulated externally with all interested stakeholders – States Parties, intergovernmental organizations, civil society, experts, and academia – for comment.
“We look forward to extensive consultations on the zero draft, which are critical to transparency and predictability, and which also ensures that the Court ultimately adopts a comprehensive and thoroughly considered Strategy”, stated President Piotr Hofmański on behalf of the Court.
