Sitting head of state immunity for crimes under international law : conflicting obligations of ICC member states?Gebremeskel, Wintana Kidane January 2016 (has links)
Magister Legum - LLM / Sitting head of state immunity for crimes under international law has been a very controversial issue in recent times. On the one hand, the debate bears that personal immunity has been renounced for crimes under international law. On the other hand, the advocates of personal immunity claim that the principle of immunity is still persisting under customary International law. Although the International Criminal Court (ICC) is a treaty based court, it is able to extend its jurisdiction to non-state parties to the Rome Statute through a referral by the United Nations Security Council. Lacking its own enforcement body the ICC relies on the cooperation of other states for arrest and surrender of those it indicts. The extension of the court's jurisdiction to non-state parties, such as the case of Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir, has led to the reluctance of state parties to the Rome Statue to effect arrest and surrender citing a 'dilemma between two conflicting obligations'. This paper analyses the legal status of personal immunity before different fora such as International tribunals, foreign domestic courts and under customary international law. It also critically examines the legal basis for the alleged conflicting obligations of state parties. The paper at the end concludes that there is no conflicting obligation for states parties to fully co-operate with the ICC and the lack of co-operation in the arrest and surrender of a sitting head of state is inconsistent with international law particularly with United Nation Charter and the Rome Statute. / German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)

The admissibility of a case before the International Criminal Court : an analysis of jurisdiction and complementarityDenecke, Jan 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (LLM)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) will come into operation
after the 60th ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal
Court of 1998. The ICC will have jurisdiction over the most serious
international crimes, namely war crimes, genocide and crimes against
humanity. The focus of this thesis is the difficulties surrounding the
admissibility of a case before the ICC. There are basically two legs to this
analysis: jurisdiction and complementarity ..
Jurisdiction of the ICC is analysed in historical and theoretical context.
This comprises an overview of the international tribunals since the First World
War, and more specifically their impact on the development of jurisdiction in
international criminal law. Secondly, the thesis is examining the jurisdiction of
the ICC in terms of the specific provisions of the Rome Statute. This analysis
comprises a detailed analysis of all the provisions of the Rome Statute that
have an impact on the exercise of the ICC's jurisdiction.
The relationship between the ICC and national courts is a difficult
relationship based on a compromise at the Rome Conference in 1998. The
principle underlying this relationship is known as "complementarity". This :
means that the ICC will only exercise its jurisdiction if a national court is
"unwilling" or "unable" to exercise its jurisdiction. A detailed analysis of the
different provisions of the Rome Statute, as well as some references to other
international tribunals, serve to analyse the impact of complementarity on the
eventual ambit of the ICC's jurisdiction.
In conclusion, some suggestions regarding the admissibility of cases
and the difficult relationship between the ICC and national courts are made. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die permanente Internasionale Strafhof (ISH) sal met sy werksaamhede
begin na die 60ste ratifikasie van die Statuut van Rome van 1998. Die ISH sal
jurisdiksie uitoefen oor die ernstigste internasionale misdade, tewete
oorlogsmisdade, volksmoord en misdade teen die mensdom. Hierdie tesis
fokus op die probleme rondom die toelaatbaarheid van 'n saak voor die ISH.
Hierdie ontleding het basies twee bene: jurisdiksie en komplementariteit.
Die jurisdiksie van die ISH word in historiese en teoretiese konteks
ontleed. Dit behels 'n oorsig van die internasionale tribunale sedert die Eerste
Wêreldoorlog, en meer spesifiek die impak wat hierdie tribunale op die
ontwikkeling van jurisdiksie in die internasionale strafreg gehad het. In die
tweede plek word jurisdiksie ontleed aan die hand van die spesifieke
bepalings van die Statuut van Rome. Hierdie ontleding behels 'n
gedetaileerde ontleding van al die bepalings van die Statuut van Rome wat 'n
impak het op die uitoefening van die ISH se jurisdiksie.
Die verhouding tussen die ISH en nasionale howe is 'n komplekse
verhouding, gebaseer op 'n kompromie wat by die Rome Konferensie van
1998 aangegaan is. Die beginselonderliggend aan hierdie verhouding staan
bekend as "komplementariteit". Dit beteken dat die ISH slegs sy jurisdiksie sal
uitoefen indien 'n nasionale hof "onwillig" of "nie in staat is" om jurisdiksie uit
te oefen nie. 'n Gedetaileerde ontleding van die verskillende bepalings van die
Statuut van Rome, sowel as verwysings na ander internasionale tribunale,
dien om die impak van komplementariteit op die omvang van die ISH se
jurisdiksie, te ontleed.
Ten slotte word sekere voorstelle aangaande die toelaatbaarheid van
sake en die verhouding tussen die ISH en nasionale howe gemaak.

International criminal court Proprio motu intervention where a truth commission exists: the Kenyan situationKituku, Carolene January 2010 (has links)
<p>Kenya&rsquo / s December 2007 Presidential elections sparked a wave of violent clashes over allegations of election rigging. The protests broke out along ethnic lines, causing greater civil unrest. There have been allegations that during these outbreaks of violence crimes against humanity were committed. This violence attracted world-wide concern and was universally condemned. Kenya is loathe to prosecute the perpetrators or those who bear the highest responsibility for the alleged commission of crimes against humanity. It has instead established a national investigatory mechanism, the Kenyan Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission (hereafter TJRC). This approach adopted by Kenya has been criticized for the fact that it fosters a culture of impunity. However, the Prosecutor of International Criminal Court (hereafter ICC) has used his proprio motu powers to initiate an investigation of alleged commission of crimes that fall within the jurisdiction of the Court. This research paper has analysed the reasons for the proprio motu intervention of the ICC in Kenyan situation. It also examined whether Kenya was unwilling or genuinely unable to prosecute the perpetrators of the post-election violence of 2007. Furthermore, the paper  / evaluated the provisions of the Kenyan TJRC, the major shortcomings of the Commission and the challenges it is facing in fulfilling its mandate. In conclusion the paper analysed the relationship between TJRC and ICC and re-evaluate any role that the two bodies could play in dispensing justice in Kenya. But before that, the paper laid down the factual  / background that led to the proprio motu interevention of the ICC in Kenya where a truth commission had alreday been established.<br />
