One of the major challenges facing the international community in this area is that of bringing perpetrators to justice to put an end to the culture of impunity. In addition to that, there is the serious problem that an overwhelming majority of survivors never have access to means of reparation and reintegration. Accountability mechanisms, both nationally and internationally, are therefore essential to address that problem. Mexico emphasizes the relevance and usefulness of the International Criminal Court and its complementary power to investigate and prosecute those responsible for international crimes, including war crimes and sexual crimes, if a State is unable or unwilling to do so.
