| Abstract | ||
| The evolution of progressive development of international legal system in the twentieth century, and particularly after World War II, has caused a considerable increase in the importance of humanitarian values in the process of legislating international legal rules. The protection of both individuals and groups from any kind of violence, guaranteeing their freedom and dignity, has become one of the essential concerns of international community. The charter of the United Nations (U.N.) states that “respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion “is one of its organizational objectives set forth in the charter”. Furthering U.N objections, a number of states have entered in universal and regional international agreements for protection of right of the individual that contains a variety of substantive rights and procedures for their implantation. Furthermore, the individual, because of his legal position, becoms subject to present in front of international courts to confront allegations of commitment the international crimes as per Rome statute for the international criminal court in July 1998. | ||
