A survey of relevant case law of the International Criminal Court (icc or Court) reveals inconsistencies, as well as conceptual flaws and limitations in the Court’s mainly uni-sectional approach to mass atrocities that involve multiple and intersecting forms discrimination, in particular with regard to the cornerstones of such cases—the identification of the protected groups and their members. This has resulted in discrepancies and low levels of legal protection against intersectional targeting. Such a cautious, selective and inconsistent approach of the icc to this issue is unsurprising given that the application of intersectionality in practice is a radical and transformative project. Espousing a more consistent and intersectional approach of the icc in considering mass atrocities against different protected groups and their members, this article discusses the Court’s legal framework and major conceptual and statutory concerns surrounding the icc prosecutor’s and judges’ enhanced engagement—through more progressive law interpretation—with the phenomena of intersectionality and key concepts related to it. The main purpose of this contribution is thus two-fold: (1) to demonstrate and explain why, in practice, the focus on intersectional dimensions of such situations and cases in their selection, prosecution and adjudication does not interfere with strict adherence to the principle of legality underlying the Rome Statute, and (2) to analyse the legal grounds and avenues for the Court to implement intersectionality when dealing with atrocities involving intersectional discrimination. It is ultimately suggested that Article 21(3) of the Rome Statute offers a proper and solid legal basis for interpreting and applying pertinent international criminal law in light of intersectionality.

国际刑事法院（相关案例法的调查ICC或法院）显示的不一致，以及概念上的缺陷和局限在法院对大规模暴行主要是单截面的方法，涉及多重及交叉形式的歧视，特别是关于此类案件的基石-确定受保护的团体及其成员。这导致差异和针对交叉目标的法律保护水平较低。鉴于ICC在实践中的应用是一项激进而变革的项目，因此ICC对这种问题采取的这种谨慎，选择性和不一致的方法就不足为奇了。支持icc更加一致和交叉的方法在考虑针对不同保护群体及其成员的大规模暴行时，本文讨论了法院的法律框架以及围绕国际刑事法院的主要概念和法定问题检察官和法官通过交往现象和与之相关的关键概念，通过更先进的法律解释，提高了参与度。因此，这一贡献的主要目的有两个方面：（1）证明和解释为什么在实践中，在选择，起诉和判决时，在这种情况和案件的交叉维度上集中注意，不会干扰严格遵守该原则的情况。 《罗马规约》所依据的合法性，以及（2）分析法院在处理涉及交叉歧视的暴行时实施交叉性的法律依据和途径。最终有人建议，《罗马规约》第21条第3款为相互交叉解释和适用相关国际刑法提供了适当而坚实的法律基础。
