2.Studies on individual rights or responsibilities in the war situations are the following : (1)(post-war) redress of the war-victims and punishment of war criminals ; (2)the co-operative relationship between the U.N. and the International Criminal Court(ICC) through the U.N.Charter and the ICC Rome Statute. By the Rome Statute, the referral, by the Security Council, of the situation in Darfur (Sudan) to the ICC prosecutor is explained. From the viewpoint of U.N.law or international order in the 21st century, the independence of international criminal justice and the cooperation of the UN Security Council to the ICC may be expected.
