During the 2022 Russia-Ukraine war, a joint investigation team (JIT) with members of seven States and a participant from the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) was set up on alleged core international crimes committed in Ukraine. It is an unprecedented development that the OTP joins a JIT with national authorities under the auspices of the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust). This essay analyses how the OTP’s participation in the JIT in Ukraine may affect the proactive complementarity of the ICC. It identifies the benefits of a JIT tool and the potential consequences of the OTP’s engagement in a JIT for its independence and impartiality. It argues that despite concerns and challenges, the OTP’s participation in a JIT offers a novel modality of implementing the policy of proactive complementarity through two-track cooperation and assistance.

With growing demand for legally binding provisional measures (since LaGrand) on situations of ongoing tension, the International Court of Justice has passively extended its role from judicial settlement of dispute to crisis management and policy making as the world judiciary. Yet this proactive role has rendered the Court in dilemma given its consent-based jurisdiction and the contractual nature of the current international legal order. In such a context, Qatar v. UAE marks the second case (the first being Georgia v. Russia) where the Court stayed silent to the alleged non-compliance with provisional measures when jurisdiction is declined. Such silence intensifies the doubts about the so-called autonomy of provisional measures. Reviewing its jurisprudence, this Article traces the status quo of the Court’s position: The temporal validity of provisional measures where jurisdiction is declined remains equivocal, and the Court’s jurisdiction over the alleged non-compliance with provisional measures is based on its jurisdiction over the original dispute. Climbing from one intermediacy to another intermediacy, the regime of provisional measures does not simply develop upon legal positivism. Instead, it concerns the delicate balance of the multiplicity in the role of the Court and is inherently subject to the changing environment of the international legal order.

The principle of non-recognition represented, and still represents, one of the most relevant legality-checking instruments that the legal order has set. The principle is always triggered by the existence of a conflict involving a higher norm, a conflict which can be normative or material. Its general function is preventing the consolidation of legal consequences deriving from acts or situations that are contrary to higher rules. Just as higher rules cut across the boundaries between the law of treaties and the law of international responsibility, the presence and the effects of the principle of non-recognition are to be found in the three main functions: creation of the law, ascertainment of a wrongful act and enforcement of the law.
