"Complementarity is the cornerstone of the system created by the Rome
Statute. Complementarity gives States the primary responsibility for
prosecuting international crimes. The ICC will only intervene when states
are unwilling or unable genuinely to investigate or prosecute. For
complementarity to function it is imperative that States introduce
legislation prohibiting genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes".
Phillipe Kirsch, President of the ICC,
quoted in the conference brochure.
