Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Article 25 of the Rome Statute deals with individual criminal responsibility: the Court has jurisdiction over natural persons, and a person who commits, orders, aids or otherwise contributes to a crime within its jurisdiction is individually responsible and liable to punishment. Article 20 deals with ne bis in idem (no trial twice for the same crime), Article 26 excludes jurisdiction over persons under eighteen, and Article 27 makes official capacity, such as being a Head of State, irrelevant.
