CRIME OF AGGRESSION UNDER THE ROME STATUTE AND EXCLUSION OF UNILATERAL HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION

Öz:
Unilateral humanitarian intervention is one of the most controversial issues in international law and relations. This controversyarises from the fact that while it serves a praiseworthy practice such as saving people suffering from gross human rightsviolations, it is illegal under international law. This article examines how this illegality fits the definition of the crime ofaggression under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The main contention is that while the doctrine ofunilateral humanitarian intervention constitutes an illegal practice of international relations, the International Criminal Courtis not able to try the persons ordering military interventions for humanitarian purposes. This arises mostly because unilateralhumanitarian intervention is in a “grey area” of international law.

ROMA STATÜSÜ KAPSAMINDA SALDIRI SUÇU VE TEK TARAFLI İNSANİ MÜDAHALENİN KAPSAM DIŞINDA KALMASI

Öz:
Tek taraflı insani müdahaleler uluslararası hukuk ve uluslaraası ilişklerin en tartışmalı konularından biri olagelmiştir. Bu tartışmadan şurdan kaynaklanır: İnsani müdahale ağır insan hakları ihlallerinden dolayı acı çeken insanları kurtarmak gibi takdire şayan bir amaca hizmet etse de, uluslararası hukukta genellikle yasadışı olarak kabul edilir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, genellikle yasadışı olarak kabul edilen tek taraflı insani müdahale konseptinin Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin kurucu metni olan Roma Statüsü’ne uygunluğunu incelemektir. Çalışmanın savunduğu temel fikir, her ne kadar tek taraflı insani müdahale doktrini uluslararası ilişkilerin yasadışı bir uygulaması olması da, Uluslararası Ceza Mahkemesi’nin insani amaçlarla askeri müdahale emri veren kişileri yargılama yetkisine sahip olmadığıdır. Bunun nedeni, tek taraflı insani müdahale konseptinin uluslararası hukukun “gri bir bölgesi”nde yer almasındandır.
