The aim of this short publication is to show the directives and types of interpretation used by the International Criminal Court, with particular reference to factors determining the process of interpretation. This article includes, inter alia, the analysis of relevant regulations, especially the Rome Statute and the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, as well as the case law of the International Criminal Court.
