No, the International Criminal Court (ICC) is not part of the United Nations system.
While the ICC works alongside the UN and cooperates with it, it maintains its independence as an international organization. The ICC's seat is located in The Hague, Netherlands. This independence allows the ICC to operate without being directly controlled by the UN, ensuring its impartiality and effectiveness in prosecuting individuals for the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.
