N2  - The research emphasizes how international criminal law serves as a safeguard against the most serious violations of human dignity. It identifies grave offenses—including genocide, war crimes, crimes of aggression, and crimes against humanity—as punishable acts under international norms. Through both ad hoc tribunals and the permanent International Criminal Court, this body of law ensures that individuals responsible for such atrocities are subject to justice. In this way, international criminal law functions not only as a tool for punishment but also as a deterrent to future human rights violations.
