Aspects of International Criminal Responsibility

Abstract

International criminal law protects interests related to the sovereignty, entity and independence of states and therefore does not Although states are usually the target and victim of such crimes committed against them, violating their sovereignty, entity, or independence, this does not preclude the possibility of international crimes targeting non-state actors, as these actors have interests protected by international criminal law that relate to the fundamental interests of humanity. The commission of international crimes entails two types of liability. The first is the international criminal liability of the individual who committed the international crime, based on the principle of personal jurisdiction and punishment, as he is considered to have full volition to commit these criminal and prohibited acts. The second form of liability for the    commission of these serious crimes is the international liability of the state whose employees and agents commit these crimes in its name and on its behalf. In many cases, this is in implementation of a policy pursued by the state under certain circumstances, crises it is experiencing, or armed conflicts it is waging for one reason or another.
