Magister Legum - LLM (Criminal Justice and Procedure) / In previous centuries, millions of women, men and children were victims of inconceivable
atrocities that deeply shocked the scruples of mankind. Regrettably, such crimes often went
unpunished in the past. Several people lost lives in the two world wars and in conflicts in
Rwanda, Sierra Leone and the former Yugoslavia. Although the International Military
Tribunal and ad hoc courts prosecuted some of the major perpetrators in these conflicts,
before then, many criminals such as German Kaiser, Wilhelm II, remained unpunished.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first permanent court with jurisdiction over the
most malignant crimes threatening the peace, security and well-being of the world.
