This meant Australia’s laws establishing cooperation with the International Criminal Court (ICC), procedures for surrendering accused persons, and enforcement of ICC sentences became legally binding and enforceable.\n\n**Key points:**\n*   **What it does:** Switches on the main operational sections of the ICC Act\n*   **Who made it:** The Governor-General, acting on Federal Executive Council advice\n*   **Why it matters:** Without this document, the ICC Act would remain \"on the shelf\"—passed by Parliament but not yet active law\n\n(Note: Part 1—usually containing definitions and preliminary matters—likely commenced earlier on Royal Assent or another date specified in the original Act.)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002","history":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/international-criminal-court-act-2002-proclamation-19-09-2002/documents"}}
