영문 초록

  The ne-bis-in-idem principle, provided that a person prosecuted and tried finally for a certain act shall not be punished nor prosecuted for the same act again, has been traditionally limited to the field of each national jurisdiction. So the international oder transnational validity of this principle is not yet recognized in the legislation of most states. However, some international conventions have provided certain legal consequences in a application of the principle in the relations between states (the so-calld horizontal international ne-bis-in-idem). Moreover, the international instruments that established international penal tribunals, including the International Criminal Court (ICC), habe provided the ne-bis-in-idem in the relations between them and the national jurisdictions (the so-calld vertical international ne-bis-in-idem).
  Insofar as concurrence of national criminal jurisdictions creates, due to increasing cross-border crime and extension of extraterritorial jurisdiction, a risk of multiple prosecutions on the same factual basis, it is necessary to develop legal provisions on international cooperation in criminal matters oder to establish an international instrument on concurrent jurisdiction. In this context, an international rule limiting the prosecution in a certain state of a person for an offence for which he has been already convicted or acquitted finally in another state. So, the ne-bis-in-idem should be also applicable on the international level. A uniform application of international ne-bi-in-idem is, however, questioned, with respect to the different legal systems in existence in the world as well as the sovereignty of the states. In this regard, it would be desirable that the possibility of applying the ne-bis-in-idem principle at an international level is discussed on the basis of international conventions. In the solutions given by them, the recognition of the foreign sentence as such or at least to the extent it has been already enforced is the prevailing goal, while, especially in case of concomitant prosecutions by different national jurisdictions, preference should be given to the jurisdiction that will better serve the purposes of the proper administration of justice in terms of fair and efficient proceedings, also in oder to prevent "forum shopping".
  Concerning the applicability of ne-bis-in-idem in the vertical international concurrence of criminal jurisdictions, the ICC Statute provides the international ne-bis-in-idem in a "downwards situation" on the one hand (Art. 20, para. 2, of the ICC Statute), and in an "upwards situation" on the other hand (Art. 20, para. 3, of the ICC Statute). Upwards, an idem is determined on the basis of the same "facts", while the ne-bis-in-idem in an downwards situation concerns the "crimes" listed in Art. 5 of the ICC Statute. Idem is, however by considering a certainty of criterion, to be understood in both cases as the same facts, irrespective of their legal character (the idem factum principle).
