الضحية في الجرائم الدولية من التهميش الى الاقرار بالحقوق

Abstract EN

Victims of international crimes have been for a long time suffering from marginalization, either before the international military or private criminal courts, since they could not claim their rights as victims of international crimes punished by these courts.

With the creation of the Rome Convention related to permanent international criminal justice, victims were able for the first time in the history of international criminal law to define themselves as such, and gain a status in direct capacity before the court.

A Trust fund was created in addition to guarantee victims' rights; and this is unprecedented in the international criminal justice.

Victims of international crimes punished in courts can henceforth directly participate in the trial procedure, and submit a request for reparation of the damage they suffered from, without resorting to the national judiciary previously in force.

This stated, victims of international crimes still need more support, especially because the right to resort to the International criminal court is not recognized for the category of victims as for the other parties.
