| Title | UNIVERSAL JURISDICTION ONLY FOR THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT |
| Summary | The Thesis, accepting its legality under international law, argues that states should be forbidden to exercise universal jurisdiction and, instead, international jurisdiction should be conferred upon the International Criminal Court in order to entitle it to prosecute crimes within its subject matter jurisdiction, no matter wherever, by whom and against whom the crimes were committed. The thesis bases its arguments on two problems which its proposal would solve; these are: problems with the ICC’s current jurisdictional status and problems attached to universal jurisdiction when exercised by states. The thesis concludes that not only this proposal would have solved two main problems, but this would also, to a great degree, reduce political intervention into international criminal justice and increase its efficiency. |
