SYNOPSIS

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Rule of law is a western construction that arises from a Eurocentric perspective. It may, at points
defeat the values of efficiency and expedience within a trial. Furthermore, the way in which rule
of law is characterized is fundamentally different in national and international jurisdictions.

The Rome Statutes stipulates

that the International
Criminal Court is a court of
last resort and it will intervene
where
national courts have failed to
address international crimes.
The
Rome Statute comes into
play when national courts
fail to
investigate crimes within its
jurisdiction and, hence,
prosecute their
perpetrators.
