The International Criminal Court and Human Rights: Achievements and Challenges

Original language description

The chapter deals with application and interpretation of human rights before the International Criminal Court (ICC). In the first part, the chapter analyzes existing jurisprudence concerning interpretation of Article 21(3) of the Rome Statute of the ICC, which is the primary interpretative guidance embracing the Statute and other sources applicable before the ICC. The chapter evaluates position of non-binding documents, usage of regional human rights treaties and describes functions human rights have been granted before the ICC. In its second part, the chapter puts forward challenges dealing with application and interpretation of human rights before the ICC. Non-refoulement principle is used as an example that not every human right is transferable to the ICC, which is an international organization. The text further focuses on question, whether the ICC can exceed limits of existing human rights jurisprudence and extend the scope of human rights protection. The chapter reveals the ICC's tendency to dissociate from violation of human rights at domestic level attributable to a state and briefly evaluates, how is this approach compatible with general principles in area of responsibility of international organizations for internationally wrongful acts and concept of due diligence in international law.
