THE CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT AND THE UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL (Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi ile Birleşmişler Milletler Güvenlik Konseyi Arasındaki İlişkinin Eleştirel Analizi)
Abstract
International society sought to establish a mechanism to ensure
international peace and security in the wake of World War 1 and World War
2. United Nations (UN) and the United Nations Security Council (Security
Council), political organ of the UN, which has almost plenary power were
emerged due to this intention. In this regard, the Security Council has
an important duty to perpetuate international peace and security. The
International Criminal Court (ICC) has jurisdiction over four types of
international crimes which are genocide, crimes against humanity, war
crimes and aggression. Under the Rome Statute, the Security Council can
refer a situation where one or more of the criminal acts are perpetrated
in the area of a state which has not confirmed the Rome Statute or are
offensed by the citizens of similar a nation to the ICC to prosecute, and
may accept a decision pursuant to Chapter VII of the UN Charter of the
ICC may not proceed the prosecution. Some commentators believe that
the interventions including referral and deferral of the Security Council
undermine the ICC’s independence and impartiality.
