RESEARCH ON THE INDEPENDENCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

The fundamental component in guaranteeing judicial equity is judicial independence, which is a contemporary justice norm. Research on the International Criminal Court must include consideration of the court's autonomy. Preserving the International Criminal Court's autonomy is crucial to its proper functioning. Since its early stages of preparation, the International Criminal Court has placed a premium on maintaining its independence. The Rome Statute has put in place a number of rather comprehensive mechanisms to prevent other subjects of international law, particularly a handful of Western States, from interfering with the International Criminal Court.
