Nevertheless, the application of traditional forms of criminal liability leads to the conclusion that they are mere accessories to such crimes. This does not reflect their central role and often results in a punishment which is inappropriately low in view of the impact of their actions and omissions. For these reasons, international criminal law has placed special emphasis on the development of concepts, such as control of the crime and joint criminal enterprise (also known as the common purpose doctrine), which aim at reflecting better the central role played by senior political and military leaders in campaigns of large scale and systematic commission of international crimes. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the case law of the ICTY and the ICTR have, in recent years, played a unique role in the achievement of this goalStudies in international and comparative criminal law ;v. 4.Criminal responsibility (International law)International criminal lawCriminal liability (International law)Criminal liabilityInternational crimesCrimes against humanityElectronic books.Criminal responsibility (International law)Criminal liability (International law)Criminal liability.International crimes.Crimes against humanity.345.0235Olasolo Hector510428Fulford AdrianTrendafilova EkaterinaAmbos KaiUtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910455192503321The criminal responsibility of senior political and military leaders as principals to international crimes2459695UNINA
