Note	This book started with a fundamental question: Is the Rome Statute a universal criminal code? Neither the Statute nor the Court itself (at least in its early years) seem to make a clear distinction between cases that are triggered by the SC, States or by the Prosecutor – all cases are treated alike – as if the Statute applies to all since its entry into force. Is a situation triggered by the SC under Article 13 (b) bringing into force the whole Rome Statute or only the parts established under customary international law? It was indeed one of our purposes to address the disagreement over the interpretation and application of the Rome Statute in situations triggered under Article 13 (b). At the heart of this disagreement was the question of whether Article 13 (b) is premised upon a theory of universal jurisdiction arising from the nature of the crimes within the jurisdiction of the icc; or, whether it is a manifestation of the powers of the SC under Chapter vii. Depending on the approach taken, ‘universal jurisdiction’ or ‘Chapter vii’, the exercise of prescriptive and adjudicative jurisdiction by the icc over a non-party State came with a different normative content, hierarchy and interaction with other norms of international law. The ultimate goal of this book was to examine what a SC referral is, what the legal effects of a SC referral are and finally what a SC referral should be.
