THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT: DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Summary/Abstract: This study is intended to examine the duties and responsibilities of the International Criminal Court, which draws the attention of the whole world. In the first part of the study, why is this judicial body needed and in the second part, the Statute of Rome, which is the founding document of the Court, is examined. According to the Statute, The International Criminal Court is the court of last resort for prosecution of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Its founding treaty, the Rome Statute, entered into force on July 1, 2002 Over the last decade the court has made significant headway in putting international justice on the map. As of June 2015, the ICC had 123 states parties, had opened investigations in eight countries, and had issued three verdicts. But while the ICC is now responsible for international criminal accountability, its daunting mandate and world-wide reach have made the its flaws more visible. In the last part, it is emphasized how the Court has contributed to international peace and security.
