The implementation of international criminal judgments and their obstacles.

The enforcement of criminal judgments is an important topic that has received the attention of writers and researchers in the field of criminal law. Its significance becomes apparent in the context of discussing the means of international cooperation in enforcing these judgments, the mechanisms followed, the authorities responsible for issuing these judgments, and the methods available in this regard. One of the most important institutions or international organizations that has undertaken this role is the International Criminal Court established under the Rome Statute, which came into force on July 1, 2002. This court has practically implemented the enforcement of criminal judgments, necessitating international collaboration to achieve cooperation in enforcing the issued criminal judgments. This means that criminal justice is no longer confined to national or regional boundaries but has extended to a broader scope, namely the international level, where the features of the international criminal justice system are manifested. It is framed by the establishment of international judicial systems that undertake the trial of accused individuals for committing specific crimes which national courts may not be able to adjudicate for various different reasons. The development of crime, the expansion of its scope, the diversity of its methods, and its alignment with contemporary developments necessitate the advancement of security and judicial means and the enhancement of their capabilities to confront criminal escalation. The absence of this international cooperation will lead to the escape of criminals and an increase in crime rates, particularly through the exploitation of geographical distances, security lapses, or differences in international stances.
