The adoption of the Statute of the International Criminal Court is one of the most important achievements in the last fifty years of the twentieth century. The truth is that the idea of ​​establishing this court is not new, as it did not escape the minds of the founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross. It did not come all at once, but rather gradually. This is confirmed by the clear impact of international humanitarian law, which is clearly evident through the adoption of the Statute of the International Criminal Court of many provisions contained in the agreements of international humanitarian law, perhaps the most important of which is the text of many international crimes such as the crime of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression, which are the most important crimes addressed by the agreements of international humanitarian law before. The Statute did not stop there, but rather adopted many principles that originally belong to international humanitarian law, foremost among which is the principle of the non-applicability of statutes of limitations for international crimes.
