tailieunhanh - FORMS OF RESPONSIBILITY IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW International Criminal Law Practitioner Library Series Volume I

International criminal law is a new branch of law, with one foot in international law and the other in criminal law. Until the Nuremberg trial, international criminal law was largely ‘horizontal’ in its operation – that is, it consisted mainly of co-operation between states in the suppression of national crime. Extradition was therefore the central feature of international criminal law. Of course there were international crimes, crimes that threatened the international order, such as piracy and slave trading, but with no international court to prosecute such crimes, they inevitably played an insignificant part in international criminal law | FORMS OF RESPONSIBILITY IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW Volume I of the International Criminal Law Practitioner Library series focuses on the law of individual criminal responsibility applied in international criminal law providing a thorough review of the forms of criminal responsibility. The authors present a critical analysis of the elements of individual criminal responsibility as set out in the statutory instruments of the international and hybrid criminal courts and tribunals and their jurisprudence. All elements are discussed demystifying and untangling some of the confusion in the jurisprudence and literature on the forms of responsibility. The jurisprudence of the ICTY and the ICTR is the main focus of the book. Every trial and appeal judgement as well as relevant interlocutory jurisprudence up to 1 December 2006 has been surveyed as has the relevant jurisprudence of other tribunals and the provisions in the legal instruments of the ICC making this a highly relevant and timely work.
