- English abstract
- Article 27 of the Rome Statute asserts the irrelevance of official capacity: it effectively lays down that official capacity has no bearing on individual responsibility nor on justiciability. The two paragraphs of Article 27 address fundamental questions: first, the accountability for a crime under international law; and secondly, immunities that may be opposed to the jurisdiction of the Court. The chapter shows how a customary principle of individual responsibility has been codified in the first paragraph, and how a treaty provision on personal immunities has been integrated in the second.
