<Li> Jump up ^ If there was a warrant of arrest, the dates of transfer to the International Criminal Court (in italics) and of the initial appearance are given . In case of a summons to appear, only the date of the initial appearance is given . </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to: According to Article 61 (8) of the Rome Statute, "where the Pre-Trial Chamber declines to confirm a charge, the Prosecutor shall not be precluded from subsequently requesting its confirmation if the request is supported by additional evidence ." </Li> <P> Unlike the International Court of Justice, the ICC is legally independent from the United Nations . However, the Rome Statute grants certain powers to the United Nations Security Council, which limits its functional independence . Article 13 allows the Security Council to refer to the Court situations that would not otherwise fall under the Court's jurisdiction (as it did in relation to the situations in Darfur and Libya, which the Court could not otherwise have prosecuted as neither Sudan nor Libya are state parties). Article 16 allows the Security Council to require the Court to defer from investigating a case for a period of 12 months . Such a deferral may be renewed indefinitely by the Security Council . This sort of an arrangement gives the ICC some of the advantages inhering in the organs of the United Nations such as using the enforcement powers of the Security Council, but it also creates a risk of being tainted with the political controversies of the Security Council . </P> <P> The Court cooperates with the UN in many different areas, including the exchange of information and logistical support . The Court reports to the UN each year on its activities, and some meetings of the Assembly of States Parties are held at UN facilities . The relationship between the Court and the UN is governed by a "Relationship Agreement between the International Criminal Court and the United Nations". </P>
