ABSTRACT
The talk and eventual realization of international criminal justice were made possible by the fact that the development of jurisprudence has historically seen the international system very much enamoured of the judicial settlement of disputes for purposes of attaining international justice. The annals of jurisprudence had witnessed scrupulous efforts to cultivate effective structures of law to be applied in international adjudication. The International Criminal Court has squarely dealt a mortal blow to the extreme permissiveness of the universality principle of state jurisdiction that endows municipal courts with the locus standi to implement international law by prosecuting international criminal offences. The attainment of the standard of the law required in an international criminal court is of grave significance to any international criminal court’s ability to attain an objective international criminal justice.
