How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- The International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda was established by a UN Security Council resolution under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, not by the General Assembly.
- The International Criminal Court is a permanent court set up by the Rome Statute and is distinct from the International Court of Justice, which settles disputes between states.
- The ICTR was an ad hoc tribunal, whereas the ICC is a permanent institution with its Assembly of States Parties.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS2 (International Relations): international institutions and the rule of law. Issue: rising attacks on the international justice system -> ad hoc tribunals (ICTR) under UNSC Chapter VII and the permanent ICC under the Rome Statute -> limits such as non-membership of major powers and dependence on state cooperation -> way forward: stronger cooperation, wider ratification and reform for consistent accountability.
