چکیده

شرط مارتنس بدون شک یکی از مقررات بنیادین حقوق معاصر جامعه بین‌المللی است. علاوه بر سایر حوزه‌های حقوق بین الملل، حقوق بین‌الملل کیفری جولانگاه و عرصه‌ای برای حضور و اثرگذاری عینی شرط مارتنس و مظاهر آن بوده است. صورت بندی شرط مارتنس از اصل بشریت و الزامات ناشی از وجدان عمومی به عنوان یک نکته تعیین‌کننده برای ورود به اسناد حقوق بین الملل، بخشی از تفکرات جنایات بین‌المللی را بوجود آورد چرا که اصول بشریت و وجدان انسانی، دو عنصر مرتبط که توسط ارتکاب جنایات تهدید می‌شوند، بخش مهمی از محدوده حفاظتی هستند که وجود جرم در حقوق بین الملل کیفری را توجیه می‌کنند. در این مقاله نشان داده می‌شود که چگونه ایده بشریت و وجدان عمومی منتج از شرط مارتنس در تدوین و شکل‌گیری جرایم بین المللی بویژه جنایات علیه بشریت و نسل‌کشی نقش داشته است. با تتبع در آموزه‌های حقوقی، اسناد و رویه قضایی به این نتیجه می رسیم که با پذیرش قانونی و تفسیر قضایی موسع و حمایتی محاکم کیفری، شرط مارتنس در مسیر جرم‌انگاری جنایات بین المللی و تعرض به ارزشهای انسانی نقش کلیدی ایفا نموده است. در واقع، اوج اعتلای شرط مارتنس در عرصه حقوق بین الملل کیفری در رفع خلأهای حقوقی و مبارزه با بی کیفرمانی و مصونیت جنایتکاران در عرصه بین المللی و تعقیب و محاکمه متجاسران به ارزشهای انسانی تجلی یافته است.

چکیده [English]

The Martens Clause is undoubtedly one of the fundamental provisions of contemporary legal order of the international community. In addition to other areas of international law, international criminal law has been an arena for the presence and objective impact of the Martens Clause and its constituent elements.The formulation of the Martens Clause of the principle of humanity and the requirements of public conscience as a determining point for entry into the international law documents, has formed part of the idea of international crimes, because these two related elements that are threatened by the commission of crimes, are an important part of the protected areas which justifies the existence of a crime under international criminal law. this article shows how the principle of humanity and public conscience resulting from the Martens Clause have played a role in the codification and formation of international crimes, especially crimes against humanity and genocide. Following the legal doctrine, international documents and jurisprudence, we conclude that by legal acceptance and an extensive and protective judicial interpretation of criminal court, the Clause has played a key role in criminalizing international crimes and attacks on human values. In fact, the culmination of the Clause in international criminal law has been manifested in filling legal gaps,combating impunity,immunity of perpetrators in international arena, and prosecuting those who violate human values
