| description | A new millennium has recently begun and with it a new era in International Crimin_al Law. Since 1 July 2002, an International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague has been able to hold individuals responsible for human rights violations. In the era of globalisation the world acts more and more on an international level and globalisation has also adopted a high significance in international crime. Never has the international crime rate been as high as nowadays and there is anything but an end in sight. Thus, the need for international criminal prosecution increases. The establishment of ad hoc tribunals as an answer to the commited atrocities of the most terrible wars in the last century has shown that it is possible to prosecute the responsible individuals. Intervention is more than necessary. But while these ad hoc tribunals had to be established under certain circumstances, the ICC now offers a new and stable way to try international crimes before a global acknowledged court. |
