Safeguarding The Rights Of The Accused Under The Rome Statute: A Case Study Of The International Criminal Court
Authors : Mokhtar Boulaares .
Abstract
Abstract: This study examines the guarantees afforded to the accused under the Rome Statute as implemented by the International Criminal Court (ICC). It analyzes the key procedural and substantive rights enshrined in the Statute, including the right to legal representation, the publicity of proceedings, the confidentiality of investigative materials, and the right to be informed of the progress of investigations, among other safeguards. Employing an analytical legal methodology, the research demonstrates that the Rome Statute provides comprehensive protections for individuals accused of the most serious international crimes, such as genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, thereby reinforcing the principles of fairness, due process, and human rights within international criminal justice. The findings highlight the Statute’s role in balancing the prosecution of grave offenses with the fundamental rights of the accused.
