Působnost a přípustnost: právo a praxe mezinárodního trestního soudu
Law and Practice of the International Criminal Court

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on cornerstones of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, i.e. jurisdiction and admissibility. Both institutes serve as prerequisites for triggering of the International Criminal Court's activity, without jurisdiction and admissibility, any investigation and prosecution at the international level is simply impossible. There is a deep interconnection between both concepts: admissibility relates to exercise of jurisdiction. The article analyzes all forms of jurisdiction, i.e. jurisdiction ratione temporis, personae, loci and materiae, and further examines criteria of admissibility, i.e. complementarity, ne bis in idem principle and gravity. The article analyzes both concepts not only with reference to relevant legal framework (mostly the Rome Statute), but at the same time with reference to practice of the International Criminal Court which significantly contributes to the formation of their content.
