Summary
From the time that an individual comes under the suspicion of ICC investigators, to the moment when that individual is convicted or acquitted by the Court, there are a number of situations where the protection of their human rights falls to the cooperation between the ICC and States Parties. These situations include the interrogation of the suspect, the arrest and surrender of the suspect to the ICC, the release of the accused on an interim basis while awaiting trial, the treatment of a convicted person imprisoned in a domestic prison, and the release of an accused following an acquittal. Each situation poses unique challenges for the protection of human rights, either because the legal framework that structures the cooperation between the different actors is very complex, or because the legal framework is insufficient to provide adequate protection.
