The application of sanctions to the International Criminal Court and to the staff of the most important international court and the first permanent tribunal, which judges the most serious international crimes – those that affect the very essence of us humanity – must be a matter of concern for legal theorists and practitioners. Attempts to influences the International Criminal Court through limitations on the right of movement, blocking the property of Court employees, criminal conviction, motivated by the conduct of criminal investigations, can be opposed by the cooperative approach and Communication with the international court, in order to carry out the act of justice, to ensure a climate of peace and national and international security. Also, the serious criminalization of the attempts to divert the course of the justice could be an effective solution.
