Abstract
Terrorist acts and challenges caused by them have led the international society to adopt several instruments to deal with them. On the other hand, within the Rome Statute in 1998 and establishment of the International Criminal Court, a special mechanism was approved to cope with the international crimes. The ICC enjoys merely the legal jurisdiction against the most important crimes according to the International Law; however, in 1994 the International Law Commission proposed that some other treaty crimes, including terrorism, to be covered under the scope of the ICC jurisdiction but its failure to conclude on this matter not to be enshrined under the ICC jurisdiction. Of course, one could argue that even though trail of terrorists is not envisaged in the ICC, but it is possible to bring those crimes under another part of the jurisdiction of the ICC which is already accepted and it is crime against humanity.
