Procedure First, the Prosecutor must conduct a preliminary examination of information received regarding alleged crime(s). He/she can request information from United Nations organs, States, NGOs and other reliable sources to aid in this process; Article 15(2). Only after the Prosecutor has analysed the seriousness of the information and concluded that there is a reasonable basis to commence an investigation, can a request be made to the Pre-Trial Chamber to launch an investigation. In making the request, the Prosecutor must present to the Pre-Trial Chamber information in his/her possession that supports the initiation of an investigation; Article 15(3). Once an application has been filed, it falls upon the Judges of the Pre-Trial Chamber to evaluate the information presented by the Prosecutor. For the Judges to authorize an investigation, a number of requirements must be met.[1]peaceandjusticeinitiative.org/implementation-resources/proprio-motu-investigation-by-the-icc-prosecutor
