In den vergangenen Jahren ist er in die Kritik gekommen, nicht zuletzt weil sein Verhältnis zu anderen Gerichtsbarkeiten im Sinne einer Komplementarität nicht hinreichend geklärt wurde. Der Artikel spricht sich für eine stärkere Einbeziehung regionaler Gerichte, wie etwa des Afrikanischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte, aus, um die tiefen Gräben zwischen IStGH und nationalen Gerichten zu überbrücken. 4209 Much of the reticence on the part of African states to comply with their ICC obligations, criticism of the Court by the AU, and its legitimacy deficit, is attributable to the compromise reached in the current formula of the Principle of Complementarity (PoC). This central jurisdictional provision in the Rome Statute establishes the Court’s jurisdiction as complementary to the primary jurisdiction of the State. However, it is by now evident that the PoC suffers from acute tension inherent to its exclusivist dualist formula, limiting the choice of jurisdiction as between two actors only—the State and the Court; and that the Principle has so far failed to frustrate the ‘impunity gap’ to which the ICC was designed to put an end. In this paper, I propose to overcome this impediment by expanding the application of the PoC to also include the jurisdiction of regional courts, in this case, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights. The latter could serve as a ‘mediating agent’ bridging deep chasm separating national courts and the ICC by incorporating regional judiciary and non-judiciary mechanisms as tools to implement the ICC international criminal law. 4950 https://doi.org/10.17185/duepublico/70462$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:hbz:464-20190821-152120-6$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://duepublico2.uni-due.de/receive/duepublico_mods_00070462 5051 320
