Abstract:

Considering the role of the Security Council of the United Nations, in the combat to International Crimes and the relationship existing between Threat to the peace, Breach of the peace and Act of Aggression to the crimes subject to Jurisdiction of International Criminal Court, Security Council and ICC are related in these cases: (1) according to the section 13(2) of statute of the ICC, Security Council can refer the Prosecution of the International Crime to the Court; such reference has a global characteristic. (2) in the Investigation and Prosecution stage of International Crimes, (a) Council can facilitate the international cooperation among the states and Court, (b) Council can delay the commencement and proceeding of a Prosecution or Investigation in Court under Chapter seven of the United Nations. (3) Council through facilitating of International Cooperation and judicial Assistance among the states and Court, has a main rule at administrating the Imprisonment Penal. (4) The exercise of Jurisdiction of the Court over the Crime of Aggression can refer to the recognition Act of Aggression by the Security Council.

However, such a relationship (among Council and Court), Security Council in the following cases can be accounted for as an important deterrent in exercising of the court jurisdiction over the international crimes by the infringement upon the judicial independence principle of the Court:

a)     Suspension of the investigation and prosecution in the Court by the Security Council injures the judicial independence of the Court, in such a way that any escape from this Crisis can cause political and legal methods of suspension to be used.

b)     The relationship of the Court in recognition of the crime of aggression to the recognition of the Act of Aggression by the Council not only injures the judicial independence of the court, but also it causes that the prosecution of the important international crime to be stopped.

c)     Non-limited jurisdiction of the Security Council can be exercised in all the duties and jurisdictions of the court. This status is a constant and important deterrent in the realization of the international criminal justice.

The commitment of the international crimes by the armed forces that exercise the international legal power and the disagreement of the subordinate states of these forces against the prosecution of their citizens can stop the prosecution process in the court.
