Abstract

The creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) has successfully pushed for the prosecution of global crimes. This is a significant development in the area of international law and will have a significant effect on the world’s peaceful advancement. In order to advance the justice of the international order, it is impossible to ignore the jurisdiction question, which has always been the ICC’s central concern. As long as the nation submitting the case is the nation where the crime was committed or the nation of nationality of the criminal suspect, it can fall under the purview of the ICC’s authority. The ICC has heard a number of international criminal cases since its founding, including those in Sudan’s Darfur. This essay examines the conflict between peace and justice in the ICC, analyzes it, identifies the limitations of the real implementation process, and finally makes pertinent recommendations. Its main concern is the jurisdiction of the ICC.
