This book examines how the functioning of the International
Criminal Court has become a forum of convergence between the common
law and civil law criminal justice systems. Four countries were
selected as primary examples of these two legal traditions: the
United States, England and Wales, Germany and Poland. The
first layer of analysis focuses on selected elements of the model
of accusation that are crucial to the model adopted by the ICC.
These are: development of the notion of the prosecutor’s
independence in view of their ties to the countries and the
Security Council; the nature and limits of the prosecutor’s
discretional powers to initiate proceedings before the ICC; the
reasons behind the prosecutor’s choice of both defendants and
charges; the role the prosecutor plays in the procedure of
disclosure of evidence and consensual termination of proceedings;
and the determinants of the model of accusation used during trial
and appeal proceedings. The second layer of the book consists in an
analysis of the motives behind applying particular solutions to
create the model of accusation before the ICC. It also shows how
the model of accusation gradually evolved in proceedings before the
military and ad hoc tribunals: ICTY and ICTR. Moreover, the
question of compatibility of procedural institutions is addressed:
In what ways does adopting a certain element of criminal procedure,
e.g. discretional powers of the prosecutor to initiate criminal
proceedings, influence the remaining procedural elements, e.g. the
existence of the dossier of a case or the powers of a judge to
change the legal classification of the criminal behavior appearing
in the indictment?
