[Ipsos'](https://www.ipsos.com/en-us) latest survey of Americans conducted for the [American Bar Association’s International Criminal Court (ICC) Project](https://www.aba-icc.org/) shows a growing number of Americans who are knowledgeable about the International Criminal Court and its objectives. The online survey of 1,017 US adults also reveals many Americans’ perceptions of terrorists and the preferred tactics to combat terrorism.

**Knowledge and Awareness of the ICC**

Nearly half of Americans (47%) are now aware of the International Criminal Court, up from 40% when this tracking began in 2014. Despite this growing awareness, nearly four in ten Americans (38%) incorrectly assume the United States is a member of the International Criminal Court.

* Awareness of the ICC is highest among millennials (age 18-34), where 60% have heard at least a little bit about it.
* Millennials are nearly twice as likely to be aware of the ICC than Americans 55 years or older with only 34% having any awareness of the Court.

**Perceptions of the Court’s Objectives**

Americans continue to be very supportive of international organizations that support human rights and that hold individuals accountable for mass atrocities (70%). The belief it is important to help these organizations is especially strong among those aware of the ICC (79%).

* A consistent majority of Americans have held this belief since this poll began in February 2014.<commit_msg>Updated '_polling-data/july-2017-ipsos-polling-results.md' via CloudCannon<commit_after>---
