On the Relationship between the International Criminal Court's Jurisdiction and the Security Council's Authority
The establishment of the standing International Criminal Court involves many issues of international law, among which the relationship between the International Criminal Court's jurisdiction and the Security Council's authority has become one of the most controversial issues among scholars and different nations. If the International Criminal Court endows the Security Council with excessive authority in its operation, it will be constrained by the political influences of the Security Council and its independence and impartiality will be undermined. On the other hand, it will not be feasible for the International Criminal Court to put the Security Council aside in the international community. Although the jurisdiction stipulated in statute of the ICC restricts the Security Council's authority, the Security Council still exerts no insignificant impact on the International Criminal Court.
