Abstract

This article deals with the right to appeal as established in the Rome Statute and guaranteed in proceedings in front of the ICC. The Rome Statute acknowledges the right to appeal as a right to challenge both convictions and other decisions. Due to statutory limitations and a clearly restrictive interpretation by the ICC, this safeguard appears however less effectively protected than a first reading of the relevant dispositions might suggest. In fact, Article 83 (2) ICCSt imposes a specific standard of review for appeals against final decisions, which ICC case-law has questionably extended also to appeals against other decisions. Furthermore, according to the Rules of Evidence and Procedure, appeals against some interim decisions require the leave of the first instance Chamber. These limitations of the right to appeal in the ICC system seem to put the respect of the minimum protection standard, established under international human rights law, in doubt.
