International crimes jeopardize interests shared by mank- ind, as the victims are only innocent people. The September 11 attacks on America, the coalition invasion of Iraq led by the United States, to name a few, have all meant tremendous harms to world peace and international security.
Effective prevention and deterrence of these international criminal acts would rely on a regular international criminal court, which is imminent for an entangled and ever changing situation . This dissertation is born from this perception. The 10 chapters that form it are mainly focused on The Rome Statute of International Criminal Court and International Criminal Co- urt as it discusses international criminal acts, the prosec- ution and trial among other issues. In Chapter 1 General, motive, purpose, scope, method and framework of this work are included. Physical rules over international criminal acts are discussed in Chapter 2 through Chapter 7. Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 deliver the proceedings governing prosecution, hand -over and extra- dition and eventually, Chapter 10 brings in conclusions.How- ever, in the statute and the international criminal court ind- icated above, only natural persons are subjects, suggesting that the international criminal responsibilities borne by ind- ividuals violating the crimes given in Chapter 5 of the conv- ention without involving states, bodies, organizations, corp- orate persons or any other international crimes not specified in it. Besides, there are additional restrictions. Once op-
erational, a successful internat- ional criminal court would rely on successful performance of the United Nations organiz- ations and interactive judicial systems of its member nations.
The International Criminal Court was founded on July 1, 2002 and 18 judges were elected on February 7, 2003. Its first attorney was elected on June 17 the same year and is currently executing his office after swearing in. We do expect that this brand new international law enforcement could mean a new mil- estone in the development of peace and security for mankind.
