- The International Criminal Court Act 2001 (c.17) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Act incorporates into English law and Northern Ireland law the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. The principal aims of the Act are:
* to incorporate into domestic law the offences contained in the Rome Statute (genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity);
* to fulfill the United Kingdom's obligations under the Statute, particularly in relation to the arrest and surrender of persons wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the provision of assistance with respect to ICC investigations; and
* to create a legal framework so that persons convicted by the ICC can serve prison sentences in the United Kingdom. In 2006, three British military personnel were charged with inhumane treatment, a war crime, under the Act. Two of the three soldiers were cleared but the third, Corporal Donald Payne, became the first British person to be convicted of a war crime under this act. The corresponding Act of the Scottish Parliament is the (asp 13).
