Extensive costs, complex missions, and slowness of proceedings have led to a decision to create strategies to complete the Court's mission by 2010. The Council issued a resolution of 1966 to establish a new mechanism to speed up the completion of the trials and fight against the remaining fugitives. The Mechanism with a small, low cost and temporary structure; however, having two branches in two separate continents, has attempted to complete and continue the multiple functions of the Courts, while still having its own challenges and problems in structure and operation. In the present study, it has been tried to answer the question with a precise evaluation of the structure and functions of the Mechanism that the Mechanism is merely a substitute for the Courts, or is a new model created in criminal proceedings. By studying the founding documents of this institution, it can be seen that the new structural mechanism in the international criminal justice system. Other courts can use it to handle different situations. %U https://jplsq.ut.ac.ir/article_80630_51fcac8583696bd9233eecae7fd6ce3b.pdf
