Abstract

Določila Rimskega statuta tožilcu omogočajo, da ne začne ali ne nadaljuje postopka, kljub izpolnjenim zahtevam pristojnosti in dopustnosti ter posledično utemeljeni podlagi za začetek preiskave ali kasnejši zadostni podlagi za začetek pregona. To lahko stori, če ugotovi obstoj tehtnih razlogov za domnevo ali zadostno podlago, da to ne bi bilo »v interesu pravičnosti«. Pri tem dokumenti Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča (MKS) ne podajo smernic glede razlage vsebine instituta »interesa pravičnosti«, niti glede njegove uporabe. Nejasnost, dvoumnost, nedoločenost, hkrati pa pomembnost tega instituta so prišli v ospredje aprila 2019. Predobravnavni senat MKS je po proučitvi situacije v Afganistanu prvič odločil, da ne bo odobril zahteve tožilstva za proprio motu začetek preiskave, ker to »ne bi služilo interesu pravičnosti«. Razlaga o pomenu in uporabi instituta, ki jo je ponudil predobravnavni senat, je odprla dodatna vprašanja in polemike. Močan je bil tudi politični odziv. Magistrsko diplomsko delo skozi prizmo sredstev razlag, upoštevajoč pri tem relevantna določila uporabnega prava MKS, iz različnih zornih kotov raziskuje izzive obsega ter uporabe »interesa pravičnosti« v Rimskem statutu. Hipotezi dela sta, da je institut »interes pravičnosti« potrebno razlagati ozko, ter da je njegova uporaba v diskreciji tožilstva, medtem ko ima predobravnavni senat nadzorno vlogo nad takšno diskrecijo le v primeru, če tožilstvo ob sklicevanju na interes pravičnosti ne začne preiskave naznanjene situacije oziroma ne začne pregona.

Secondary title: The interests of justice at the International Criminal Court
Secondary abstract: Provisions of the Rome Statute enable the Prosecutor not to proceed, even though there is a reasonable or sufficient basis to do so considering the requirements of jurisdiction and admissibility. It may do so, when (s)he determines that there are nonetheless substantial reasons to believe or a sufficient basis that an investigation or prosecution »would not serve the interests of justice«. However, there is no clear definition or guidelines on its scope, content or application within International Criminal Court’s (ICC) documents. Institute’s ambiguity, obscurity, indeterminacy, but at the same time its importance have come to the fore in April 2019. It is when the Pre-trial Chamber of the ICC (PTC) decided not to authorise the Prosecutor’s request for the initiation of the proprio motu investigation into the situation in Afghanistan. Arguing it »would not serve the interests of justice«. The PTC’s interpretation of the institute opened up additional questions and controversies about its scope and application. It also provoked strong political responses. The master’s thesis from various angles examines the issues and challenges of the scope and application of the »interests of justice« arising from the Rome Statute. It does so through the prism of different interpretative tools, taking into account the relevant provisions of the applicable law of the ICC. The hypothesis of the master thesis are that the scope of the institute “interests of justice” should be interpreted in a narrow way and that its application is in Prosecutor’s discretionary power, while the PTC has the power to judicially review that discretion only when the interests of justice represent the basis of the Prosecutor’s decision not to investigate the referred situations or not to prosecute.
