Is ICC jurisdiction not baked into the laws of the countries?
I am not sure if it is "baked into the laws" specifically, but Italy signed and the parliament has ratified the contracts defining the ICC, its mandate and the member states obligations, so Italy is legally obliged to execute any ICC arrest warrant and hand over the suspect criminals to the ICC.
And is enforcing those warrants up to the executive or up to the police+courts? Because with domestic laws it's up to the latter right?
The police is part of the executive. The courts are part of the judiciary. I dont know if national courts need to issue anything. Maybe they need to confirm the extradition to the Hague.
