Internationella brottmålsdomstolens jurisdiktion över den misstänkta deportationen av Rohingyafolket  – en kränkning av Myanmars statssuveränitet? / The jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court over the alleged deportation of the Rohingya people  – a violation of Myanmar’s state sovereignty?

In September this year the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague decided, in accordance with the universal principle of competence-competence, that it has jurisdiction over the alleged deportation of the Rohingya people from Myanmar to Bangladesh. The decision is based on the Court’s extensive interpretation of the crime deportation within the Rome Statute. Part I of this thesis aims to analyze and determine whether the interpretation is sufficiently founded in the Rome Statute, or if the Court, through its decision, has exceeded its mandate. Part II of this thesis aims to examine the duties of international organizations in general, and of the ICC in particular, when it comes to the rules of state sovereignty. Both questions are vital in answering of the question at large – has the ICC, through its decision, violated Myanmar’s right to state sovereginty?
