Malaysia recognizes the 4 core “international crimes” that are generally accepted under international criminal law, that is –
- crimes against peace/crimes of aggression
- war crimes
- crimes against humanity
- genocide.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) established under the Rome Statute defines and grants the ICC jurisdiction over these international crimes although jurisdiction over crimes of aggression remains in abeyance until a generally acceptable definition is agreed upon for that crime.
Malaysia is currently studying the Rome Statute to determine whether Malaysia should become a party to it.
