The United Nations General Assembly, in Declaration No. 260 dated December 9, 1948, requested the International Law Commission to "examine whether the establishment of an international judicial organ for the prosecution of persons accused of the crime of genocide is appropriate and possible".
Fifty years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and fifty years after the signing of the International Convention on the Prevention of Genocide, the international community finally created a permanent institution for itself that not only [addresses] serious crimes, but also the conscience of the Rome Statute, which is the Statute of the International Criminal Court, on July 17, 1998, is considered a decisive step for international justice.
Article 1 of this Statute states: "There is hereby established a permanent International Criminal Court which shall have jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the most serious crimes of international concern.
However, an important limitation is included in Article 124 of the Statute, which allows States Parties to unilaterally opt out of the Court's jurisdiction for a period of seven years regarding war crimes committed by their nationals or on their territory.
The third case announced by the Constitutional Council is that the jurisdiction of the Court affects the exercise of national sovereignty, because the Court may intervene in a matter that is in conflict with the implementation of an amnesty law or is inconsistent with French regulations regarding the statute of limitations.
