CHAPTER 14 The International Criminal Court’s Jurisdiction over the Crime of Aggression – a Step Towards the Peaceful Settlement of Disputes? Jan Lhotský The International Criminal Court has exercised its jurisdiction over genocide, cri- mes against humanity and war crimes since 2002. In July 2018, its jurisdiction was extended for a newly defined crime of aggression. This contribution discusses whether and to what extent this development can contribute to preventing the use of force in international society. First, positive aspects of the newly adopted crime are presented. Second, arguments are being discussed that support the view that the extension of the jurisdiction for the new crime does not provide a functional safeguard against the use of force. Although the extension of the jurisdiction should be welcomed, based on comparing both groups of factors it is concluded that the adoption of the crime of aggression into the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court does not provide for a real deterrent effect against the use of force among states. CHAPTER 15 International dispute settlement mechanisms regarding social policy Sandra Brožová This chapter is devoted to dispute settlement particularities in the field of social policy and social security coordination. The issue can be divided into two dimensions: (1) human rights protection mechanisms aimed at individuals and their social rights realization and (2) interstate disputes, originating in the process of cross border cases administration. In the first dimension, the outstanding features of the most influential universal and regional instruments of human rights protection are outlined and some interesting recent cases are analyzed, the second dimension is focused on the current trends in interstate dispute settlements; these disputes concern mostly differing legal norms interpretation. The particular attention is paid to out-of-court mechanisms and new mediation procedure within the European Labour Authority (ELA).
