Abstract: The trials of the Second World War in Nuremberg and Tokyo are vivid evidence of the interaction between international humanitarian law and international criminal law. This is illustrated by two manifestations : First: The Charter of the Tribunals was based on the principles of international humanitarian law derived from the Hague Act of 1907 Second, the term war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against peace were used for the first time, making international criminal law relevant to the Nuremberg and Tokyo Conventions. The establishment of these tribunals underscores the fact that there are aspects of the human rights issue that the United Nations has not neglected to punish war criminals or perpetrators of crimes against humanity, human rights in the occupied territories, and other rights The United Nations’ interest in human rights has been confirmed by the creation of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) to try war criminals in both the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. The International Interaction and Intervention Department for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, in particular through the United Nations, is being established with the establishment of the International Criminal Court in 1998. Hence, the objective of our research is to highlight two things: Explains the role of the International Criminal Court as an international sanction in providing international criminal protection of human rights and in determining international criminal responsibility for these rights. The UN Security Council issues its decisions regarding the establishment of two international criminal tribunals in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda and has been entrusted with the prosecution of serious violations of human rights principles committed in the territory of the United Nations, These two countries, the Security Council, stand helpless against the war crimes and gross human rights violations committed by Israeli forces in Palestine and Lebanon This fact, the other objective of our research, is to highlight the political implications of the work of the International Criminal Court.
