International criminal court
The International Criminal Court is considered to be an important area and a high point of International law regarding its developments. The International Criminal Court (ICC) was established under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, in 2002, as a permanent court bearing the jurisdiction to examine and to carry out the prosecution of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and crime of aggression. One of the main criticism and allegation imposed on international law concerns its implementation and mechanism procedures. Since, States are a legal fiction; the violations committed are by the natural persons for which the State is held accountable. The query relates to whether a punitive mechanism can be adopted or not? However, there are certain violations for which sanction could be imposed. For example, war crimes and genocide.
