Extract

On July 17, 1998, the world community voted on the Rome Statute for the International Criminal Court (ICC,) which, if ratified by 60 countries, would establish for the first time in history, a permanent international criminal tribunal. The outcome was an overwhelmingly favorable vote, with 120 countries voting in favor, 21 abstentions, and 7 countries, including the United States, against. The idea of an international criminal court appeared to be in the making.

From the International Law Association's Buenos Aires Conference in 1922, this is a short paper presented by Professor Bellot, advocating the need for a permanent ICC. Included are his recommendations on the composition of the court, the applicable law and procedure. He traces the acts of the Peace Conference, including the appointment of a Commission on the Responsibility of the Authors of the War and on the Enforcement of Penalties. The latter prepared a report which included a recommendation for the establishment of a International High Tribunal to oversee the trial of Germans and Austrians who committed international crimes during the war (World War II). The paper also sets forth the issues raised by an American minority report in dissent from establishing such a tribunal, instead arguing for the trying of war criminals by national courts.Google Scholar

It covers the domestic and international approaches to the prosecution of war crimes, the evolution of the international law regime and its present-day movement toward a permanent ICC. The intermingling of the international with the domestic, or as one of the author calls it, the “cross-fertilization” is discussed by a few of the authors. The different contributors discuss examples of different war crimes trials, such as those that occurred in Europe, Japan, Australia (under its domestic War Crimes Act), the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Finally, the last chapter, written by the editors, deals exclusively with the prospect of the new international criminal law regime, with a discussion of the International Law Commission's Draft Statute for an International Criminal Court and its Draft Code of Crimes Against the Peace and Security of Mankind.
