The adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court has again brought the international community closer to a world order less dominated by national sovereignty than by hierarchical elements. The new legal order is exemplified, in particular, by the Prosecutor, who is mandated to initiate investigations proprio motu according to the principle of legality. On the other hand, many compromises had to be accepted. It would seem incompatible with the Nuremberg principles to require, even with regard to genocide, the consent of the State of which the person accused of the crime is a national or the State on the territory of which the crime was committed in all instances other than those referred to the Court by the UN Security Council. It remains to be seen whether the Statute will receive the necessary minimum number of ratification in a not too distant future. Adapted from the source document.
