from Part II - Multi-Actor Human Rights Protection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2020
The Netherlands, as the ICC’s host State, plays a key role in the day-to-day functioning of the ICC. It provides assistance in a range of ways, such as providing premises for the Court and transporting witnesses and accused between locations. In providing this assistance, the Netherlands does not operate in a legal vacuum; instead certain obligations arising under international human rights law may come into play. As a result, the Netherlands can become one of the actors involved in multi-actor human rights protection, alongside the ICC and States Parties. To complete the picture of multi-actor human rights protection at the ICC therefore, it is important to understand the role of the ICC host State. A first step in this regard is ascertaining the content of the host State’s obligations. This chapter addresses this by examining the sources of the Netherlands’ obligations within and beyond the Rome Statute protection framework.
