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 goal 410 0$aStudies in international and comparative criminal law ;$vv. 4. 606 $aCriminal responsibility (International law) 606 $2International criminal law 606 $aCriminal liability (International law) 606 $aCriminal liability 606 $aInternational crimes 606 $aCrimes against humanity 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriminal responsibility (International law) 615 0$aCriminal liability (International law) 615 0$aCriminal liability. 615 0$aInternational crimes. 615 0$aCrimes against humanity. 676 $a345.0235 700 $aOlasolo$b Hector$0510428 702 $aFulford$b Adrian 702 $aTrendafilova$b Ekaterina 702 $aAmbos$b Kai 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455192503321 996 $aThe criminal responsibility of senior political and military leaders as principals to international crimes$92459695 997 $aUNINA
