THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC) AND MYANMAR-BANGLADESHMYO AUNG Myanmar
The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression.
The Court is participating in a global fight to end impunity, and through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent these crimes from happening again.
The Court cannot reach these goals alone. As a court of last resort, it seeks to complement, not replace, national Courts. Governed by an international treaty called the Rome Statute, the ICC is the world’s first permanent international criminal court.

Indonesian Take on Alternative Dispute Settlements Part Two : Selection of Ar...anggihakim1
In arbitration, parties are entitled to determine how to proceed with the arbitration. It includes choosing an arbitration institution and rules and procedures to solve disputes. According to Art. 34 Law Number 30 of 1999 concerning Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Settlement (“Law 30/1999”), “(1) Settlement of disputes through arbitration can be carried out using national or international arbitration institutions based on the agreement of the parties. (2) Settlement of disputes through the arbitration institution shall be carried out according to the rules and procedures of the chosen institution, unless otherwise stipulated by the parties”. Furthermore, pursuant to the elucidation of Art. 34 par. (2) parties are free to choose the applicable rules and procedures without having to use the rules and procedures of the chosen arbitration institution.[1] This would be because parties may have some of the procedures agreed upon in their contract.
In Indonesia, most arbitrations are institutional. Currently, some of the features of the most used arbitration rules and procedures are as follows:
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT - FACT SHEETVogelDenise
17 USC § 107 Limitations on Exclusive Rights – FAIR USE
The International Criminal Court
For more than half a century since the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, states have largely
failed to bring to justice those responsible for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. With the creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC), the world has begun to fulfill the post-World War II promise of “never again.” The ICC is the world’s first permanent, international judicial body capable of bringing perpetrators to justice and providing redress to victims when states are unable or unwilling to do so. This represents a major stride for international justice. . .
What crimes does the Court prosecute?
The ICC can prosecute and bring to justice individuals accused of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
How do cases come before the Court?
Cases come before the court in one of three ways: (1) The Court’s Prosecutor can initiate an investigation into a situation where one or more of the crimes has been committed, based on information from any source, including the victim or the victim’s family, but only if the Court has jurisdiction over the crime and individual. (2) States that have ratified the Rome Statute may ask the Prosecutor to investigate a situation where one or more of the crimes have been committed. (3) The U.N. Security Council can ask the Prosecutor to investigate a situation where one or more of the crimes have been committed, even if the crimes occurred in the territory of a state that has not ratified the Rome Statute or was committed by the national of such a state.
What is the U.S. position on the Court?
…the ICC would only investigate cases involving U.S. nationals if the U.S. failed to investigate and, if appropriate, prosecute the individuals responsible. …

17 USC § 107 Limitations on Exclusive Rights – FAIR USE
On 20 November, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) finally published her request to open a formal investigation into war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Afghanistan. This means that the Prosecutor agrees with the result of the preliminary examination showing that crimes meeting the ICC gravity threshold have been committed in Afghanistan since 2003 (the period for which the ICC has jurisdiction) and that the ICC considers that Afghanistan is either unwilling or unable to prosecute these crimes nationally. The Prosecutor also made an open request to the victims to send their statements to the Court by 31 January 2018. There is, then, a very important but short window of opportunity for victims to share their stories with the Court. On the occasion of the release of the Prosecutor’s request, AAN is publishing this question and answers dispatch focusing on the ICC and Afghanistan (1).

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.

2. International Court of Justice (ICJ)
The ICJ is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations. Its
seat is at the Peace Palace in The Hague (Netherlands). Notably, it
is the only UN principal organ not situated in New York.
The chief judicial organ of the UN, it is also sometimes known as the
World Court.
Established by the UN Charter in 1945, it began work in 1946 when it
replaced the Permanent Court of International Justice which had
functioned in the Peace Palace since 1922.
All the 193 member states of the UN are automatically parties to the
Court. Those nations that are not members of the UN may become
parties to the Court’s statute with the help of the Article 93
procedure.
3. The chief function of the ICJ is to settle
disputes submitted by parties according to
international law.
The Court also gives advisory opinions on legal
matters submitted by any of the UN bodies or
specialised agencies.
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) can
enforce ICJ judgements as per the UN Charter.
However, the permanent members of the UNSC can
veto against any such ruling.
4. ICJ Composition
The ICJ is composed of 15 judges.
The judges have a tenure of nine years each.
They are elected independently by the UNGA and the UNSC. The candidate
should get an absolute majority in both the UNGA and the UNSC to be
elected.
No two judges can have the same nationality in the ICJ.
Elections are held every three years for one-third of the seats, and
retiring judges may be re-elected.
The members of the ICJ do not represent their governments but are
independent magistrates.
5. The judges must possess the qualifications required in their respective countries for
appointment to the highest judicial offices, or be jurists of recognized competence in
international law.
The judges are distributed as per the regions:
o 3 from Africa
o 2 from Latin America and the Caribbean
o 3 from Asia
o 5 from Western Europe and other states
o 2 from Eastern Europe
Among the 15 judges, there is a President, a Vice President and a Registrar.
Every State government party to the Charter designates a group that proposes candidates for
the office of ICJ judges.
6. ICJ Jurisdiction
The ICJ has two types of jurisdictions:
1. Contentious cases
1. ICJ, in accordance with international law, settles disputes of legal
nature that are submitted to it by states.
2. Countries should apply and only then appear before the ICJ.
International organisations, other authorities, and private
individuals are not entitled to institute proceedings before the ICJ.
3. The Court can only deal with a dispute when the States concerned have
recognized its jurisdiction.
4. The judgment is final, binding on the parties to the case and without
an appeal.
7. 1. Advisory opinions
1.The advisory procedure is available to five
UN Organs, fifteen Specialized Agencies, and
one Related Organisation.
2.Despite having no binding force, the Court’s
advisory opinions nevertheless, carry great
legal weight and moral authority and thus
help in the development and clarification of
international laws.
8. There is also a distinction between mainline and incidental
jurisdictions.
• Incidental jurisdiction relates to a series of miscellaneous and
interlocutory matters; for example, the power of the Court to decide a
dispute as to its own jurisdiction in a given case; its general authority
to control the proceedings; its ability to deal with interim measures of
protection; and the discontinuance of a case.
• Mainline jurisdiction, on the other hand, concerns the power of the Court
to render a binding decision on the substance and merits of a case placed
before it.
9. Working of ICJ
Article 55 .1. All questions shall be decided by a maj ority of the judges present. 2. In the event
of an equality of votes, the President or the judge who acts in his place shall have a casting
vote.
Article 56 1. The judgment shall state the reasons on which it is based.
2. It shall contain the names of the judges who have taken part in the decision.
10. Article 57 If the judgment does not represent in whole or in part the unanimous opinion of the
judges, any judge shall be entitled to deliver a separate opinion.
Article 58 The judgment shall be signed by the President and by the Registrar. It shall be read in
open court, due notice having been given to the agents.
Article 59 The decision of the Court has no binding force except between the parties and in
respect of that particular case.
11. Article 60. The judgment is final and without appeal. In the event of dispute as to the meaning or scope of the
judgment, the Court shall construe it upon the request of any party.
Article 61. 1. An application for revision of a judgment may be made only when it is based upon the discovery of
some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor, which fact was, when the judgment was given, unknown to
the Court and also to the party claiming revision, always provided that such ignorance was not due to negligence.
2. The proceedings for revision shall be opened by a judgment of the Court expressly recording the existence of the
new fact, recognizing that it has such a character as to lay the case open to revision, and declaring the application
admissible on this ground.
3. The Court may require previous compliance with the terms of the judgment before it admits proceedings in
revision.
4. The application for revision must be made at latest within six months of the discovery of the new fact.
5. No application for revision may be made after the lapse of ten years from the date of the judgment.
12. Limitations of ICJ
ICJ suffers from certain limitations, these are mainly
structural, circumstantial and related to the material
resources made available to the Court.
• It has no jurisdiction to try individuals accused of war
crimes or crimes against humanity. As it is not a criminal
court, it does not have a prosecutor able to initiate
proceedings.
• The ICJ is not an apex court to which national courts can turn
to. It is also not a court of last resort for people. It also
does not act like an appeal court for international tribunals,
however, it can make a ruling on the validity of the
13. • The ICJ cannot suo moto take up a case. It can only
hear cases or disputes when requested to do so by
States. It can also not investigate and rule on acts
of States.
• The ICJ only has jurisdiction based on consent, not
compulsory jurisdiction.
• It does not enjoy a full separation of powers, with
permanent members of the Security Council being able
to veto enforcement of cases, even those to which they
consented to be bound.
14. Kulbhushan Jadhav Case
Kulbhushan Jadhav, an Indian naval officer, was arrested in March 2016 by
Pakistani security forces in Balochistan province after he reportedly
entered from Iran.
• He was sentenced to death by a Pakistani military court on charges of
espionage and terrorism in April 2017.
• On May 9, 2018, ICJ stayed his death sentence after India had moved a
petition before the UN body to seek justice for him, alleging violation
of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations by Pakistan.
15. • In February 2019, India said Pakistan’s continued custody of Indian
national Kulbhushan Jadhav without any consular access should be declared
“unlawful” as it was an egregious violation of the Vienna Convention.
• In 2019, the ICJ has directed Pakistan to review the conviction order of
Kulbhushan Jadhav and, until then, put his death sentence on hold. ICJ
also asked Islamabad to allow New Delhi consular access at the earliest.
This is a major diplomatic and legal victory for India in the Jadhav
case.
• In 2019, Pakistan granted consular access for Jadhav in line with the ICJ
ruling.
16. Key Highlights of Judgement
• Pakistan Violated the Vienna Convention: ICJ upheld that Islamabad had
violated Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, 1963,
by not informing India about Jadhav’s arrest immediately after Pakistan
Army had taken him into custody.
• ICJ found that India had been deprived of the ‘right to communicate with
and have access to Jadhav, to visit him in detention and to arrange for
his legal representation’, which meant that Pakistan had breached
obligations incumbent upon it under Article 36, paragraph 1 (a) and (c),
of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
• The provisions of the 1963 Vienna Convention defines a framework for
consular relations between countries.
17. Indian among the ICJ judges
In November 2017, India’s Dalveer Bhandari has been re-elected to the
International Court of Justice (ICJ), after Britain pulled out its
candidate Christopher Greenwood before the 12th round of voting.
Bhandari’s term ends in 2027.
18. Election significance:
• Analysts say the election result was crucial for India to gauge the
support it enjoys in the world body where New Delhi has been campaigning
for reforms, including a permanent seat for itself in the UNSC.
• This is the first time that one of the five permanent members of the UNSC
lost out to an ordinary member in a race.
• This is the first time in the 70-year history of the UN that the United
Kingdom will not be on the ICJ.
• Although he does not represent the Indian government, having a judge of
Indian origin is seen as a strategic asset.
• It particularly gains significance in the backdrop of the Kulbhushan
Jadhav case.
