Abstract

In the relationship between the Netherlands and the International Criminal Court distinction must be made between the position of the Netherlands as party to the Statute and the special position of the Netherlands as host country. Seen from a political perspective, this distinction is not always obvious, but from a legal perspective it is useful because it helps to show that legal problems and objections raised either do not exist or are solved more easily. As far as the preparations for the actual functioning of the Court are concerned, the legal infrastructure in the host country is largely in place.
