Recent studies have paid attention to the thresholds accompanying the original text, to include all its appendices, starting from its front cover and ending with its back cover, and the significance that these matters can add to the text itself. Therefore, in this research, we will try to reveal the clarity of the connection between the thresholds and the texts of the articles of the Rome System. The importance of the thresholds has emerged as a discourse parallel to its original discourse (which is the text), driven - what is meant by the parallel discourse - in that is the act of interpretation, and activated by the act of reading, explaining and interpreting the form of its meaning. Because it is the entrance to everything, since the eye first falls on it.Hence, insight recognizes them as transitional texts that take us to the most important thing, which is the central text. They are texts that surround the central text in all its aspects: footnotes, footnotes, main and subtitles, indexes, introductions, conclusions, and other well-known publishing data, and at the same time they constitute an indicative and cognitive system no less The importance of the text that hides or surrounds it, as it contributes to the quality and guidance of reading, and our study came within forensic linguistics because of its importance in revealing the significance of legal texts and the mechanisms of legislation and implementation.
