This book was released on 2017-01-23 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the ICC’s unprecedented scope of jurisdiction and limited resources comes the need to select situations and cases that the Prosecutor wishes to pursue. As the Prosecutor selects her situations and cases, she constantly makes choices, aff orded to her by the statutory discretion she enjoys as a Prosecutor. The purpose of this study is to investigate three aspects of the Prosecutor’s discretion: What is the extent of the Prosecutor’s discretion in pursuing individual situations and cases? How much does the Prosecutor adhere to and further the objectives of the ICC in the exercise of her discretion? To what degree should the Prosecutor use policy considerations in selecting situations and cases to pursue?
Download or read book Prosecutorial Discretion in the International Criminal Court written by Farid Mohammed Rashid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first scholarly investigation of prosecutorial discretion in the International Criminal Court (ICC) from an interdisciplinary perspective. This work analyses the discretionary power of the ICC prosecutor and its scope. It explains that there is a tendency to overlook the necessity of distinguishing between the various usages of discretion when exercised as a power authorised by the law and effect when applying indeterminate legal thresholds. The author argues that the latter indeterminacy may give decision makers an unwarranted opportunity to exercise a wide range of discretion, where extra-legal factors may be considered. In comparison, prosecutorial discretion allows decision makers to consider extra-legal considerations. This book also discusses the relevance of political considerations within the decision-making process in the context of the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. It suggests that there need not be a conflict between the broad sense of justice as outlined in the Statute and political factors in giving effect to decisions. This book will be of interest to students of international law, global governance and international relations.
Download or read book Reflections on the Exercise of Prosecutorial Discretion in International Criminal Law written by Luc Côté and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sheds some light on the exercise of prosecutorial discretion in international criminal law, particularly within the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. It argues that in international criminal law, the area where prosecutorial discretion becomes most politically sensitive concerns the power to select which individuals to prosecute, what rank of individual should be targeted for prosecution, and how many individuals to try before an international criminal tribunal. After briefly looking at the extent of the discretionary powers given to the international Prosecutor and, more importantly, at how they are exercised in practice, the author tries to identify the limits of these powers from three different angles: their legality in the light of the right to equality of treatment, the duty of impartiality of the Prosecutor and, finally, the legitimacy of the decisions to indict considering other efforts to negotiate peace. It concludes by identifying the new trends observed in international criminal law to limit prosecutorial discretion at the International Criminal Court, the Special Court for Sierra Leone and in the newly adopted completion strategy of the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia.
Download or read book Gravity at the International Criminal Court written by Priya Urs and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gravity of a crime or case features in various international and national legal frameworks for the investigation and prosecution of international crimes. At the International Criminal Court (ICC), 'sufficient gravity' is a requirement for the admissibility of a case specified in Article 17(1)(d) of the Rome Statute. The open-textured nature of the provision leaves the manner of its application and, ultimately, its purpose in the context of the Prosecutor's decisions whether to investigate and prosecute, open to discussion. Set against the backdrop of ongoing debates on how to justify selective investigations and prosecutions at the Court, Gravity at the International Criminal Court: Admissibility and Prosecutorial Discretion addresses the question of how the gravity criterion is to be applied in the context of the Prosecutor's respective decisions whether to investigate and prosecute. It argues that the purpose of the gravity criterion in this context is the allocation of investigative and prosecutorial resources. First, identifying appropriate indicators of gravity, the book contends that the application of Article 17(1)(d) requires a subjective assessment that involves the exercise of discretion. Second, by clarifying the respective roles of the Prosecutor and the Pre-Trial Chambers of the Court in the assessment of gravity in different contexts, it argues in favour of wide prosecutorial discretion in the making of this assessment compared with the limited powers of judicial oversight conferred on the Pre-Trial Chamber. Timely and thorough, Gravity at the International Criminal Court proposes a more coherent and persuasive application of the criterion, contextualizing and comparing the ICC's approach in relation to other courts and bodies of law including international human rights law, international investment law, and international trade law.

Download or read book Rethinking the Prosecutor s Discretion at the International Criminal Court written by Jacopo Governa and published by . This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court is the first prosecutor of a permanent international criminal court and is responsible for investigating situations where international crimes appear having been committed and for prosecuting perpetrators of these crimes before the Court. The traditional contrast between those systems applying the principle of mandatory prosecution and those applying the discretionary principle, raised the question on the applicable model in the international criminal justice system. The traditional selectivity characterizing International Criminal Law, the limited resources, and the tendential use of procedural mechanisms familiar to common law systems before international criminal tribunals are some of the reasons leading scholars to attribute discretion to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court as well. The purpose of this book is to determine whether the Prosecutor effectively enjoys discretion and possibly to what extent. The statutory framework does not necessarily point towards a strong discretionary power of the Prosecutor, and practice reveals that the discretion granted to the Prosecutor in recent years seems sometimes to have jeopardized the effectiveness of his activities.
Download or read book The Emerging Practice of the International Criminal Court written by Carsten Stahn and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Criminal Court is at a crossroads. In 1998, the Court was still a fiction. A decade later, it has become operational and faces its first challenges as a judicial institution. This volume examines this transition. It analyses the first jurisprudence and policies of the Court. It provides a systematic survey of the emerging law and practice in four main areas: the relationship of the Court to domestic jurisdictions, prosecutorial policy and practice, the treatment of the Courta (TM)s applicable law and the shaping of its procedure. It revisits major themes, such as jurisdiction, complementarity, cooperation, prosecutorial discretion, modes of liability, pre-trial, trial and appeals procedure and the treatment of victims and witnesses, as well as their criticisms. It also explores some of challenges and potential avenues for future reform.

Book excerpt: In its short life, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued public warrants of arrest for 14 persons, launched two trials and provoked controversy across the globe. Much unease about the Court boils down to one issue: how should the Prosecutor decide, among thousands of crimes and perpetrators within his jurisdiction, which ones to charge? To date, considerable discussion about the ICC has taken place in an atmosphere of unreality ill-served to educate and inform. While critics paint a picture of justice as one-sided and politically determined, embattled defenders offer a pristine notion of 'law in a vacuum' that, at its extreme, stretches credibility. If the ICC is eventually to command sustained public support, we must move beyond platitudes in explaining the nuanced nature of the Prosecutor's discretion: grounded in law and evidence, but, of necessity, taking into account broader considerations of institutional strategy and policy, while refraining from partisanship or bias.
