论国际刑事法院的启动机制

国际刑事法院(ICC)的成立，是国际刑法发展史上的一个重要里程碑，建立国际刑事法院过程的核心问题之一是法院的管辖权问题，国际刑事法院的启动机制与其管辖权紧密相关。《国际刑事法院罗马规约》（以下简称为《罗马规约》）确立了法院管辖权启动的三种方式：第一种是规约缔约国提交情势，第二种 是安理会向法院提交情势，第三种方式是检察官自行开始一项调查。 The establishment of International Criminal Court (ICC) is a significant event in the history of international criminal law. One of the core issues regarding to the establishment of ICC is the Jurisdiction. The Trigger Mechanisms of ICC hold a closed relationship with the Jurisdiction. The statute contains three possible mechanisms by which the jurisdiction of the Court could be “triggered”. The first one is that any State Party to the Rome Statue may refer a situation to the Court; The second one is that the UN Security Council may refer a situation to the Court; The third one is that the Prosecutor can initiate an investigation on his own motion.
