Compensation Arising from the International Crimes at the International Criminal Court for the Victim in the light of the Casting Votes

The importance of victim’s role is one of the most controversial issues in the Court, which can create a fair trial. Before the ratification of the constitution, many negotiations were among the members. In 2012, the president of the International Criminal Court, described the Statute of the Court as a barrier to preventing crimes in his speech at the Universal Parliamentary Conference on Human Rights; stating that the Court brings about Justice to prevent crimes. The present study applies a descriptive-analytic approach to examine the status of the victim in the International Criminal Court. To consider this issue, the Rome Statute and the other relevant regulations have been considered. The research hypothesis is that the Rome Statute, by recognizing the importance of the role of the victim against the convict's immunity, has balanced legal systems, resulted in innovation and a system of justice. Moreover, in response, victim participation is one of the improvements in restorative justice; nevertheless, the Court's procedures are not in consistent with this position.
