Analyzed the concept of "international judicial body" ,"international judicial institution", "the international Tribunal", "the international court of justice" and it was concluded that there weren't any significant differences, from criminal procedure perspective(which take place from the standpoint of international law), and that all bodies are elements of the system of international criminal justice(or justice).In addition, it is proposed to use in criminal process the General notion of "international judicial institutions" ‒ court or other body which has similar powers for the implementation of the criminal justice, established under the international Treaty or decision of an international organization(which member is Ukraine), the consent to which jurisdiction provided by Ukraine in the established order.

This determines the implementation of certain procedures, including those related to the inclusion of further rules of the Rome Statute to the legislation of Ukraine. In particular , the elimination of contradictions between constitutional provisions and the Rome Statute; comply with the provisions of the Rome Statute, national criminal and criminal procedural law; creating appropriate framework for effective cooperation with the ICC; clear separation of jurisdictions ICC and domestic bodies that make prosecution.
