the Statute provide for the following core principles:
(i) "This Statute shall apply equally to all persons without any
distinction based on official capacity;"
(ii) "[...] official capacity as a Head of State or Government, a
member of Government or parliament, an elected representative or
a government official shall in no case exempt a person from
criminal responsibility under this Statute, nor shall it, in and of
itself, constitute a ground for reduction of sentence;" and
(iii) "Immunities or special procedural rides which may attach to the
official capacity of a person, whether under national or
international law, shall not bar the Court from exercising its
jurisdiction over such a person. "
