Both tribunals sped up negotiations and the decision to establish the permanent International Criminal Court, whose objective is to help end impunity for the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of concern to the international community.

Mazánková, Zuzana ; Kochan, Jan (advisor) ; Trávníčková, Zuzana (referee)
The submitted bachelor thesis addresses the ongoing issue of international criminal law and the impact that international organisations have on it. Its main objective is to identify means by which the selected international organisations contribute to the development of legal norms in international criminal law, taking into account the existence of international non-governmental organisations besides intergovernmental ones. The first part presents a theoretical definition of international criminal law, its status in the context of international public law and clarification of concepts. Next parts of the thesis concentrate on the organisations themselves and analyses of their particular impacts on international criminal law and branches that contribute to its functioning.
