Bahr Idriss Abu Garda is charged with taking part in an attack in north Darfur in 2007, during which 12 African Union (AU) peacekeepers were killed.
Mr Abu Garda is the first Darfur rebel to have voluntarily answered a summons from the ICC, the court said.
In March, Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir was indicted on war crime charges, which were the first issued by the ICC against a sitting president.
The Aegis Trust, a genocide campaign group, said Mr Abu Garda's arrival at The Hague increased the pressure on others, particularly the Sudanese government, to follow suit.
Sudan has dismissed the warrant as a "neo- colonialist" move to destabilise it and has expelled several foreign aid agencies.
The International Criminal Court is accepting supporting evidence of children's drawings of the alleged crimes committed in Darfur. This sketch by Abdul Maggit depicts a typical scene of destruction.
