- American Non-Governmental Organizations Coalition for the International Criminal Court
The American Non-Governmental Organizations Coalition for the International Criminal Court (also AMICC) is an umbrella group of United States based non-governmental organizations that works to build support for the International Criminal Court (ICC) in the United States. It is affiliated with the United Nations Association of the United States of America and consists of 35 member and observer organizations, as well as several geographically-based local alliances of interested individuals. Although many AMICC member organizations are accredited to attend meetings of the United Nations and the Assembly of States Parties of the ICC, AMICC is independent of these two institutions.
