النظام الإجرائي للمحكمة الجنائية الدولية

Abstract

The procedural rules of the International Criminal Court is the first international procedural document, comprehensive and most important balance between the major systems in the world (the Anglo-Saxon system-Latin system) deriving their provisions from the advantages of these systems and omitting some of their disadvantages. This intermixture resulted a creation of a unique procedural system of its kind, giving a considering balance at the legal level among the “adversarial” and “inquisitorial” systems techniques, by integrating elements of both systems in order to prepare a consistent set of international rules aimed at the achievement of international criminal justice, but this system is punctuated by some defects and shortcomings that needed to be re-examined, especially in some of its procedures in order to achieve a balance away from any other considerations, even though most of the defects were more political than legal.
