I. Trend:
- “Internationalization of Law & Enforcement”
- More international courts and tribunals
- Ad hoc tribunals (ICTY, ICTR, SCSL)

II. Example: - Problems: - No governmental approval
- Unilateral ratification by the UN Security Council- National law serves as a basis- Jurisdiction of the Tribunal does not differ from national courts

Faculty of Law
III. Solution:
- National courts are competent to deal with national as well as international crimes
- National court judgments are more effective
- National courts have the expertise in national law and could be trained in international law

Faculty of Law
III. Solution:
- National prosecutors have a closer connection with national authorities (e.g. police)
- ICC complementary in order to have a instrument when a state is unwilling or unable to prosecute (last resort)

Faculty of Law
III. Solution:
- National law serves as a better basis
- International law complementary in order to fill the gaps of national law and to safeguard human rights

Faculty of Law
IV. Conclusion:
- Going back in history BUT taking the ICC as a complementary instrument with us- Apply national law BUT international law if human rights and jus cogens are at stake BECAUSE it is a national matter and should NOT be placed on an international level
- Suggestion: NOT TO FOLLOW THE TREND
