| Abstract | ||
| The issue of studying impunity, particularly in high-severity crimes such as those mentioned in Article 5 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, through establishing legal frameworks and principles to prevent such violations, represents a crucial element in deterring international crimes and limiting their spread. Within the framework of international agreements, the international will has been directed towards enhancing the prosecution of perpetrators of serious violations and human rights abuses, as well as perpetrators of international crimes such as war crimes and crimes against humanity. The issue of addressing impunity, especially in serious crimes outlined in Article 5 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, is crucial in deterring international crimes and preventing their escalation. Establishing legal frameworks and principles is vital to hold perpetrators of human rights abuses and international crimes accountable. This requires state parties to make legislative amendments to criminalize these acts within their domestic laws, thereby preventing impunity. Emphasizing the obligation to prosecute criminals can lead to forming binding international norms, even against non-parties. This research analyzes the principles of complementarity between national and international jurisdictions and the principle of universal jurisdiction, which are essential in reducing impunity and achieving the international goal of accountability. | ||
