The International Criminal Court's founding treaty, the Rome Statute, provides that individuals or organizations may submit information on crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court.〔 These submissions are referred to as "communications" or complaints to the International Criminal Court. As of end September 2010, the Office of the Prosecutor had received 8,874 communications about alleged crimes. After initial review, 4,002 of these communications were dismissed as “manifestly outside the jurisdiction of the Court”.〔International Criminal Court, September 2010, (''Communications, Referrals and Preliminary Examinations'' ), Accessed 27 February 2011〕 As of March 2011, the ICC has launched investigations into seven situations in Africa: the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda, the Central African Republic, Darfur, Sudan, Kenya,〔International Criminal Court, 2010. (''Situations and cases ) Accessed 1 January 2010.〕 Libya, and Cote d'Ivoire. Several other situations have been subject to "intensive analysis", including Afghanistan, Chad, Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, the Gaza Strip, Georgia.〔International Criminal Court 20 August 2008. ("ICC Prosecutor confirms situation in Georgia under analysis" ). Accessed on 20 August 2008.〕〔("ICC prosecutor eyes possible Afghanistan war crimes" ), Reuters, 2009-09-09〕 Some of the communications received by the Prosecutor alleged that crimes had been committed on the territory of states parties to the Court, or by nationals of states parties: in such cases, the Court may automatically exercise jurisdiction. Other communications concerned conduct outside the jurisdiction of states parties: in these cases, the Court can only act if it has received a referral by the United Nations Security Council or a declaration by the relevant state allowing the Court to exercise jurisdiction. Communications from individuals and organisations should not be confused with ''referrals'' from states parties or the United Nations Security Council.〔International Criminal Court. . Accessed 20 March 2008.〕 ==Procedure== The court's founding treaty, the Rome Statute, provides that individuals or organizations may submit to the Prosecutor information on crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court. These submissions are referred to as "communications". Before an investigation is opened, each communication is subject to three levels of analysis: initial review, basic reporting and intensive analysis.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Complaints to the International Criminal Court」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
