| Summary: |
The ability of the Security Council to make referrals under article 15 ter, which includes crimes of aggression committed in the territory of non-States parties or by nationals of non-States parties, opens the door to the analysis of the significance of foreign states officials’ immunities before the ICC, since they would be the material authors of those crimes and the recognition of the immunities would render the Security Council’s referrals practically ineffective. This paper will analyze the value of such immunities, focusing, in first place, on the existence of a rule of customary law of non-recognition of immunities before international criminal tribunals, and secondly, it will focus on the possibility that the Security Council’s referrals entail an implicit waiver of immunities. |
