The Feasibility of the Developing Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court for Weapons made with Nanotechnology

Abstract

Nanotechnology and weapons made in the framework of this technology, while having significant positive and negative consequences, criminals abuse it for anti-social and security purposes at the national and international levels. Therefore, this research has been carried out with the aim of expanding the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and preventing security measures caused by weapons made with nanotechnology. This research aims to identify nanotechnology and its application in the manufacture of weapons and assess and evaluate the jurisdiction of the ICC. The findings of the research show that in addition to controlling the weapons made with nanotechnology and dealing with it with a law and security approach, the ICC can also expand its jurisdiction to prosecute the crime of using weapons made with technology by including crimes related to nanotechnology in the framework and definition of the crime of aggression. Nano should act. Since the crime related to weapons made with nanotechnology is not currently under the judicial jurisdiction of the Court, it seems that according to Article 5 of the Rome Statute, the crime of using weapons made with nanotechnology can be prosecuted as a crime of aggression and the proceedings of the ICC. . Therefore, the ICC, using the existing treaties and regulations, has the possibility to expand its jurisdiction regarding the crime caused by the use of weapons made with nanotechnology and place this crime within the framework of the current regulations
