The organization of the court : the international campaign in support of an ICC [Salvo Andò]

Abstract

Within the context of the debate on the competence and the functioning of the International Criminal Court, the problems of its organization have not been as yet tackled adequately. This is understandable for many reasons. a) Although it is agreed that setting up an International Criminal Court is of little use unless it is given the necessary means to function, it is however evident that the question of its means - which and how many - is conditioned by the procedural model chosen, and most of all by the quality and quantity of the crimes which will fall within its competence. To date the problems to be solved in this field are many. b) There is another reason for the little attention that has up to now been given to the organizational problems. [excerpt]
