The establishment of the Kosovo Specialist Chambers as a local war crimes court is coming as a challenge to the overall authority and jurisdiction claimed by the International Criminal Court. These two courts are at the same time divided and connected in so many aspects. Kosovo war crimes have been dealt in the past by icty, unmik, eulex courts and now a specially made ksc. The ksc as being a local court is still practically having above it the icty and the Mechanism which inherited the icty but also the possible application of the icc. We will compare the ksc to other courts having local jurisdiction in Kosovo with an aim to understand if the ksc is an exception or a rule from now on in certain post-conflict societies. The exclusion of the icc from adjudicating in Kosovo is a challenge and potential solution to other post-conflict societies, and they can apply its various forms and practices and overall ignore the icc in the future. Although icc is the only international criminal court it is not the only specialised court dealing with war crimes now. The ksc and icc overall struggle for jurisdiction have been also shadowed by the global political struggle for primacy, leaving these and many other local and international institutions without a real power, functioning in a framework of and for various political aims. The special characteristics and mandate ksc has makes it worth researching in order to better understand the icc and the overall understanding of International War Crimes courts/Tribunal worldwide today and in the future.

将科索沃专家分庭设立为地方战争罪法庭，是对国际刑事法院主张的整体权威和管辖权的挑战。这两个法院同时在许多方面是分开和联系的。科索沃战争罪过去由前南问题国际法庭、科索沃特派团、欧盟驻科法治团法庭处理，现在由特制的科索沃法庭处理。作为地方法院的 ksc实际上仍然具有icty和继承icty的机制，但也有可能适用icty。我们将比较ksc向在科索沃具有地方管辖权的其他法院提交，目的是了解ksc从现在开始在某些冲突后社会中是例外还是规则。将国际刑事法院排除在科索沃的裁决之外是对其他冲突后社会的挑战和潜在解决方案，他们可以应用其各种形式和做法，在未来总体上忽略国际刑事法院。虽然国际刑事法院是唯一的国际刑事法院是不是唯一的专门法院处理战争罪了。在KSC和ICC争取管辖权的总体斗争也受到全球政治争取首要地位的影响，使这些机构和许多其他地方和国际机构没有真正的权力，在各种政治目标的框架内运作并为各种政治目标而运作。特殊的特点和任务KSC具有使它值得研究，以便更好地了解国际刑事法院和国际战争罪法庭的整体理解/今天法庭在全球和未来。
