Özet: This paper covers a review of the article written by Damaska which contains a great deal of critical analysis on the desired legal foundation of the International Criminal Court and doings of the court in reality since 2002. Our aim is to try to pay our attention to the real International Criminal Court and to answer the question of what the Court did so far. As will be seen through the paper, the role of the court in restorative justice discipline mentioning the retributive and/or restorative character of this permanent international criminal court will be discussed. It is, of course, not so far away to release the complementarity principle labelled in the Rome Statute. In this regard, the associations between the complementarity and the sovereignty will be explored giving example from reality such as Libya and Syria, and the principle will be also seen as a stabilizer-mechanism and a well-balanced tool between the sovereignty and universal jurisdiction. As a consequence, it can be said that regarding all points posted below, “just being in existence is not enough.”
