On July 17, 1998, at the Rome Conference, the Statute of the Criminal Court was signed by 120 countries as an international treaty and as a result, it was decided that after the 60th day from the date of deposit of the 60th instrument of ratification, the relevant documents shall be deposited. The articles of association become enforceable. The statute addresses the provisions necessary for the establishment of an international tribunal. Among the provisions related to jurisdiction are the admissibility of lawsuits in the Court, the general principles of criminal law, the order of proceedings, the trial, the selection of judges, etc., which have been approved as a result of intensive discussions by representatives of the signatory states. In this article, I have tried to explain the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court and embark upon the concept of the ability to accept a lawsuit and determine the pillars and elements of its actions. Efforts have also been made to distinguish between the two concepts in the Rome Statute and when each of the above concepts is applied in the process of dealing with criminal matters within the jurisdiction of the Court.

AbstractThroughout history, the phenomenon of war, as a painful reality in human life, has always been full of suffering, and therefore the international community has tried to reduce its destructive and harmful effects by enacting international humanitarian law. In the meantime, individuals, including physicians, in some cases and in violation of their professional duties and ethical principles and by abusing this dangerous situation, in violation of international rules and the basic rules of medical professional ethics and with the help of prisoners of war under the protection of international law, unusual biological experiments during armed conflicts against these people lead to severe physical and mental injuries that, in addition to tarnishing the image of medical science, lead to one of the most heinous international crimes called "medical war crimes." The purpose of this study is to explain and analyze this conceptual approach to the phenomenon of medical war crimes and to present its examples from the perspective of international regulations and distinguish it from similar concepts to provide intellectual infrastructure. Special rules are necessary to develop the protection of victims of this range of international crimes in light of current social developments.Keywords: Medical war crime, International criminal court, Rome Statute, Geneva Convention

Sometimes the prosecutor suspends filing or filing a case, subject to circumstances rather than prosecution, despite the occurrence of a crime. The prosecution authority in the national systems is the duty of the prosecutor. The question is, is the legal system of the International Criminal Court (ICC) approach to the principle of prosecution. Investigating the authority of the prosecutor in national systems and the International Criminal Court, from a comparative viewpoint, analytically-descriptive and using library resources, shows that the legal system of the Court has a systematic and well-defined approach to pursuing the necessary. Contrary to national prosecution systems, it is not the prosecutor's permission alone, but the joint task of the prosecutor and the preliminary branch. Although the prosecutor is independent in his performance, his decisions are under the supervision of the branch office. The selection and prioritization criteria for pursuing the most important crimes and the monitoring mechanism are in line with the principle of prosecution and the promise of a fair trial in the Court, and can be a suitable model for the uniformization of investigation and prosecution practices in national systems, including the Iranian criminal system Which has not been shown to be a valid requirement.

Abstract Undoubtedly, the advent of third generation international criminal tribunals called mixed tribunals is one of the most interesting phenomena in modern international criminal law in last decade of past century and early 21th one. Internationally, one of mechanisms existing to prosecute and punish crimes is to establish different international tribunals. In addition, international community recognized the need for judiciary and legal system partnership of states where crimes were being committed in order to punish international crimes effectively therefore, it established mentioned tribunals to this end. Internationally, permanent as well as ad hoc criminal authorities are an appropriate option to be used by international community to combat international crimes. Thus, international criminal court is the only permanent and competent judiciary authority for considering international crimes, but presence of such limitations as necessity of bringing situations of international crime commission before U:N security council prevent this goal achievement. However ad, hoc tribunals, including merely international and/ or mixed ones with national authorities, can be created in order to prosecute and address this category of crimes. But such actions demand making decision by security council under chapter VII of united Nations charter.
