What is International Criminal Court

Chapter 19
Global Issues Surrounding Outer Space Law and Policy
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is an intergovernmental organization and international tribunal that sits in The Hague, Netherlands. The ICC is the first and only permanent international court with jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is intended to complement existing national judicial systems and it may therefore exercise its jurisdiction only when national courts are unwilling or unable to prosecute criminals.

Abstract
This chapter describes the proposal for establishing an “International Court of Air and Space Law (ICASL).” The establishment of an ICASL is necessary and should provide the uniformity of decisions currently lacking in the jurisdiction relating to disputes in the field of air and space law and space exploitation. It is desirable that the establishment of an ICASL should lead to the strengthening of international cooperation deemed essential by the global community towards the joint settlement of transnational claims and cases with respect to air and space law. In order to understand easily the global issues and solutions on the outer space law and policy, the author describes legal issues and prospects on outer space law and policy. The establishment of such a court should be designed to promote the speed of work and the fairness of trial in air and space law cases.
