Types of individual criminal responsibility according to article 25 (3) of Rome Statute

Summary/Abstract: In this Article, we outline the concepts of international law that relate to cases of individual liability as well as to contradictions in the international legal system and provide the possibility to understand the legal aspects that emerge from certain conditions. Present international law is primarily based on the notion of independent international duty (majorly of governments and international organisations). This definition often does not provide a substantive or institutional tool for the distribution of responsibilities between a majority of participants in circumstances where contributions to negative results can not be applied on the basis of the particular cause of each person. The main tasks of the article is firstly to identify and define the main historical background and concepts that allow us to assess the law pertaining to individual responsibility and to conceptualize the relevant practice of the International Criminal court as well as to discuss the potentials and limits of the current framework of international responsibility in dealing with situations of both collective and individual responsibility.
