Correct answer: (A) The Statute of the ICC was adopted by a UN conference on 18 July 1998 — The statement that is not correct is the framing of how the ICC Statute was adopted in option one.
Explanation
★The statement that is not correct is the framing of how the ICC Statute was adopted in option one.
★The Rome Statute was in fact adopted at the Rome conference on 17 July 1998, not 18 July.
★The ICC is indeed an independent organisation, not an organ of the United Nations.
★Its statute came into force on 1 July 2002, which is correct.
★The four organs are the presidency, judicial division, office of the prosecutor and registry, which is correct.
★The ICC tries the gravest international crimes when states cannot or will not act.
★So the inaccurate statement concerns the adoption of the Rome Statute.
