An essential element in the International Criminal Court's (ICC) efficient operation will be the cooperation of the States, since, orders and requests of the ICC are to be enforced through national jurisdictions. Like all international treaties, the enforcement of the ICC Statute will depend on States political will to implement it. Moreover, lack of universal support will seriously undermine the Court. Whether the ICC will develop as a truly important institution in international law enforcement remains to be seen. This is according to a paper in the latest edition of the Peace and Conflict Monitor that analyses differences in the jurisdiction of the ICC and the jurisdictions of the International Criminal Tribunal for former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.
