As the International Criminal Court (ICC) marks its 22nd anniversary, it is facing criticism over its “double standards” for failing to investigate the genocide in Palestine as quickly as it did the war in Ukraine and is undergoing a crucial test to maintain its legitimacy, Anadolu Agency reports.

Since its founding treaty the Rome Statute entered into force on July 1, 2002, the ICC has faced numerous criticisms. Once again, it is undergoing a tough examination due to its different approach to the investigations in Palestine and Ukraine.
