Abstract

The article deals with the legal problems of the withdrawal of states from the Statute of the International Criminal Court. As the recent South Africa's jurisprudence has shown, the participation of the parliament is necessary to make a decision on the withdrawal of the country from an international treaty. In determining the extent of the state's obligations before the exit decision takes effect, one should proceed from the limitation of these obligations by the principle of legal certainty: states are not bound by secret decisions that they did not know about at the time of the decision and only with regard to situations at the investigation or trial stage. In determining the extent of the state's obligations after the exit decision takes effect, it is necessary to proceed from the limitation of these obligations only in relations with other State parties in accordance with the general principles of international law enshrined in the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties.
