COOPERATIV STATES WITH THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT ON PROSECUTION PROCEDURES IN ACCORDANCE WITH ROMAE STATUTE

Abstract

The need arose for the establishment of an international criminal justice system capable of prosecuting the perpetrators of international crimes, and of ending the impunity that had prevailed over the past centuries. The purpose of the Court was therefore to achieve international criminal justice, and the Statute establishing the Court International criminal law sets out to prosecute individuals who commit international crimes without regard for the immunity, or location of officials, thus creating a glimmer of hope for criminal justice and the prosecution of offenders, but this depends on the extent of States' cooperation with the Court, Which is entitled "International cooperation and judicial assistance", and has been devoted to a number of legal articles (86-102). Hence, this topic has been chosen as part of our research project entitled "Cooperation of States with the International Criminal Court in Investigative Proceedings" Of the Rome Statute), through which we will try a comprehensive study on the subject, in order to arrive at the best legal formulations to deal with international cooperation.
