Between 30 September and 4 October 2013, FIDH organised an exchange session and meetings with a group of 11 men and women, experts and representatives from local civil society from situation countries who have worked with victims of Rome Statute crimes in the field and/or have interacted with the ICC staff or have good knowledge of the Court.
