Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court against the Perpetrators of International Crimes

Crimes do not only occur at the national level, but have also occurred at the level of international crimes, especially crimes that violate human rights. The failure of national law to resolve international crime cases is the reason for the birth of the International Criminal Court to try perpetrators of international crimes who are unable or unwilling to carry out settlements by the state. The international criminal court is only able to have jurisdiction over countries that are members of the Rome Statute, so the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court is very limited to arrest perpetrators of international crimes which are not participants in the Rome Statute. The international criminal court is only a complement to the national court because of the principle of state sovereignty. For this reason, the awareness of both the state and the international community is the basis for smooth law enforcement for perpetrators of international crimes.
