JUDICIAL COOPERATION WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE STATUTE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) mandates the establishment of robust cooperation mechanisms for international criminal justice. This involves efficient information exchange between member state authorities and the ICC. Provisions outlined in the statute, particularly in Chapter IX, Articles 86 through 101, outline the framework for such cooperation. Cooperation extends to executing judicial decisions, including prison sentences and fines, as detailed in Chapter X of the Statute. This article discusses two aspects: first, the exchange of information between states and the Court, covering evidence and investigation of criminal acts; second, various forms of judicial cooperation between states and the ICC.
