This article examines how South Korea, Japan and China have engaged with the norm of individual accountability for war crimes, genocide and crimes against humanity as embodied in the Rome State of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The author first looks at the engagement of the three Northeast Asian states within the ICC framework from 1999 to 2014. He then examines how South Korea, Japan and China have responded to calls to bring North Korea before the ICC over two military incidents with South Korea in 2010 as well as its human rights record.
