The Criminal Responsibility of Individuals for Violations of International Humanitarian Law
The Criminal Responsibility of Individuals for Violations of International Humanitarian Law
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Examines the concept of individual criminal responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law, including genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. Such crimes are very rarely committed by single individuals, but mostly by organizations or groups of cooperating persons. For a just determination of their guilt and responsibility, a fair assessment of the mutual relationships and cooperation forms of those individuals is indispensable. This book provides the framework for that assessment, as well as giving guidance on international criminal law concepts such as 'common purpose', 'superior responsibiltiy', and 'duress'.
