The outcome of an icc trial – be it a conviction or acquittal – receives significant attention. However, what happens to a defendant in the aftermath of the proceeding garners little discussion. This article seeks to fill this gap in the literature by analysing how the ne bis in idem and nulla poena sine lege principles, enshrined in Articles 20(2) and 23 of the Rome Statute, protect defendants from subsequent prosecutions and punishments by states and regional courts following their trials at the icc. We argue that these provisions do not provide adequate protection. Further, we argue that given the icc’s limited power to enforce compliance with these provisions as well as the primary role that states enjoy in the enforcement of international criminal law, the most appropriate way to address this issue is through the inclusion of robust protections in domestic legislation and the constituent instruments of regional courts.

在国际刑事法院进行审判后,一事无成,无罪审判和对国际罪行的国内起诉
icc审判的结果-是定罪还是无罪-受到了极大的关注。但是,在诉讼程序之后,被告所发生的情况很少引起讨论。本文试图通过分析《罗马规约》第20条第2款和第23条所载的一事无故和无罪立法原则来填补文献中的空白,以保护被告免遭国家和地区的后续起诉和惩罚在国际商会进行审判后的法院。我们认为,这些规定没有提供足够的保护。此外,我们认为给定icc由于强制执行这些规定的权力有限,以及各国在执行国际刑法中所发挥的主要作用,解决这一问题的最适当方法是在国内立法和国际劳工组织的构成文书中纳入强有力的保护。地区法院。
