Institutional and Practical Impediments to International Criminal Justice

Abstract

Even though the international community has made some strides in order to set up the international criminal responsibility for international crimes, the road is still long to achieve full deterrence of this serious type of crime because of the impediment that caused by many conditions prevailing in the world that stand in the way of establishing the idea of international criminal justice. Perhaps one of these obstacles are the institutional and practical barriers that engender several legal dilemmas, enable many international criminals to escape from punishement and allow certain sides badly exploiting the international criminal justice.
This article entitled: "Institutional and Practical Impediments to International Criminal Justice" addresses this problem out of two important issues: one concerning the legitimacy of international criminal judicial organs and the second on how implementing the international criminal sanction.
