Abstract Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has taken a series of measures to ensure the continuation of its activities. To this effect, the Court has adjusted its proper administration both in Headquarters and Country Offices by moving to (partial) virtual offices mode. In so doing, the ICC has striven to ensure that staff well-being and business continuity go hand in hand. On this basis, the Court has worked towards the execution of its mandate, i.e. the prosecution and trial of individuals alleged to have committed one or more of the ICC Statute crimes. Against this background, the Court has had recourse to a combination of technological and sanitary measures in order to conduct pre-trial, trial and appeals proceedings in a fair and expeditious manner. These proceedings have ranged from the execution of arrest warrants and transfer of suspects to the Court’s custody through to the holding of hearings in the courtroom. By adapting itself to the evolving nature of COVID-19 — and reactions to the virus — the ICC will ensure that it remains resilient in the face of this unprecedented global sanitary crisis.

COVID-19 大流行期间的国际刑事法院

摘要 自从 COVID-19 被世界卫生组织宣布为大流行病以来，国际刑事法院 (ICC) 采取了一系列措施以确保其活动的继续进行。为此，法院通过转向（部分）虚拟办公室模式调整了其在总部和国家办事处的适当管理。在此过程中，ICC 努力确保员工福利和业务连续性齐头并进。在此基础上，法院致力于执行其任务，即起诉和审判被指控犯有一项或多项《国际刑事法院规约》罪行的个人。在此背景下，法院采取了技术和卫生措施相结合的方式，以便以公平和迅速的方式进行预审、审判和上诉程序。这些诉讼程序的范围从执行逮捕令和将嫌疑人移交给法院看管，一直到在法庭上举行听证会。通过适应 COVID-19 不断变化的性质——以及对病毒的反应——ICC 将确保它在面对这场前所未有的全球卫生危机时保持弹性。
