On December 5, 2019, the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) published its annual Report on Preliminary Examination Activities. The ninth of its kind, the Report details the Office's determinations under Article 53(1)(a)-(c) of the Rome Statute from December 1, 2018 to November 30, 2019. A press release issued by the Court highlights that the Prosecutor's Office "received 795 communications pursuant to article 15 of the Statute" and that of those, "617 were found to be manifestly outside the jurisdiction of the Court." The aim of these reports is to "promote public awareness and transparency" of the activities of the Prosecutor's Office. The report is currently available in English, but a French version will also be published.
