The article deals with the issues related to the possibility of Ukraine’s ratification of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as an effective way to participate in the administration of international criminal justice with a view to bringing to justice those who have committed and continue to commit crimes of international concern in our country. The author analyzes the basic principles of correlation between international and national law, in particular, criminal procedure law, and on the basis of the analysis concludes that modern criminal procedure law of Ukraine is capable of interacting with the norms of international law in the field of criminal proceedings on the basis of three main principles of such interaction. The author also examines the contradictions between the provisions of the Rome Statute and certain provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine regarding the exclusion of immunities from liability (including criminal liability) for certain categories of persons, the rejection of the principle of non-extradition of own citizens, etc., and proves that this problem can be solved without amending the Constitution of Ukraine. The study concludes that there are no serious legal grounds for refusing to ratify the Rome Statute and emphasizes the need to ratify the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as a prerequisite for further European integration of our country.
