Re-thinking the Authority of the UN Security Council to Refer Nationals of Non-party States to the ICC

Upon its inception on 17 July 1998, Africa had the largest number of states supporting the ICC. Fast forward to 2018, Africa now represents the single largest regional bloc threatening mass withdrawal from the ICC. The genesis of the sour relationship between the ICC and African states has its roots in one main issue—the indictment and arrest warrant issued against President Omar al Bashir of Sudan. That arrest warrant raised two main legal issues—the international law immunity of sitting heads of state from criminal prosecutions in international criminal tribunals, and the legality of ICC jurisdiction over nationals of a non-party state to the Rome Statute. The former issue generated a great deal of debate in the early days of the ICC but the latter has received less attention and it is the focus of this article. One of the ways the ICC can assume jurisdiction in a certain situation is if this situation is referred to the ICC by the UN Security Council. The legal basis of such a referral under international law warrants closer examination. Some commentators argue that the UN Security Council has the authority to confer jurisdiction over nationals of non-party states on the ICC. In this article, I argue that the authority of the ICC to assume jurisdiction over nationals of a non-state party on the basis of a UN Security Council referral rests on grounds of questionable legality in international law.

重新思考联合国安理会将非缔约国国民提交国际刑事法院的权力

自 1998 年 7 月 17 日成立以来,非洲拥有最多的国家支持国际刑事法院。快进到 2018 年,非洲现在是威胁大规模退出国际刑事法院的最大单一区域集团。国际刑事法院与非洲国家之间糟糕关系的根源在于一个主要问题——对苏丹总统奥马尔·巴希尔的起诉和逮捕令。逮捕令提出了两个主要的法律问题——在任国家元首在国际刑事法庭的刑事诉讼豁免的国际法,以及国际刑事法院对罗马规约非缔约国国民的管辖权的合法性。前一个问题在国际刑事法院的早期引起了很多争论,但后者受到的关注较少,是本文的重点。国际刑事法院在某种情况下可以行使管辖权的一种方式是,联合国安理会将这种情况提交给国际刑事法院。根据国际法,这种移交的法律基础值得仔细研究。一些评论家认为,联合国安理会有权授予国际刑事法院对非缔约国国民的管辖权。在本文中,我认为国际刑事法院根据联合国安理会提交的对非缔约国国民行使管辖权的权力,其依据是国际法中的合法性值得怀疑。一些评论家认为,联合国安理会有权授予国际刑事法院对非缔约国国民的管辖权。在本文中,我认为国际刑事法院根据联合国安理会提交的对非缔约国国民行使管辖权的权力,其依据是国际法中的合法性值得怀疑。一些评论家认为,联合国安理会有权授予国际刑事法院对非缔约国国民的管辖权。在本文中,我认为国际刑事法院根据联合国安理会提交的对非缔约国国民行使管辖权的权力,其依据是国际法中的合法性值得怀疑。
