On the Application of a Theory of Indirect Perpetration in Al Bashir: German Doctrine at The Hague?
2008Journal of International Criminal Justice · 37 Zitationen · DOI
In his application for the issuance of an arrest warrant against the President of Sudan, Omar Hassan Ahmad Al Bashir, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court argued that Al Bashir did not physically or directly carry out genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes but committed these crimes through members of the state apparatus, the army and the militia. It is the first time that a prosecutor before an international tribunal exclusively bases the charges on the concept of perpetration-by-means. This comment discusses the Prosecutor's application, explores the appearance of the theory of indirect perpetration in international law, and tracks down the roots of the theory of perpetration-by-means of a hierarchical organization in German criminal law. The authors find that charging Al Bashir as an indirect perpetrator appears to be an appropriate description of his involvement in the alleged crimes indeed, given the explicit inclusion of perpetration-by-means in Article 25(3)(a) ICC Statute and the interpretation of Article 25(3) by the Pre-Trial Chamber in Lubanga as well as, most recently, in Katanga and Chui. They further submit that the concept of indirect perpetration could possibly become a key mode of liability in international criminal law.

In a worldwide market economy with strong demand for cheap labour and a global society that exposes millions of individuals to poverty and deprives them of their economic human rights, exploitation amounting to slavery is profitable, and endemic. And although corporate involvement in modern slavery is notorious and slavery and slavery-related practices may qualify as crimes against humanity or war crimes, commentators have repeatedly noted the general reluctance of institutionalized criminal justice to engage in prosecution of corporate involvement in slavery. This article aims to shed some light on the legal issues at the intersection of slavery, corporate action and international criminal law. Beginning with drawing a basic distinction between crime under international law and transnational crime, the analysis delves into criminal responsibility under international law. It then proceeds in two steps. First, the author examines the definitions of crimes under international law as they are laid down in the Statute of the International Criminal Court, and enquires which of these are applicable to the prosecution of slavery and slavery-related practices, what are their requirements and what are the major problems of their charging. Second, the author turns to issues of attribution: how is criminal responsibility to be attributed and to whom, i.e. the corporation itself or the individual corporate officer? The article concludes with a plea to take advantage of the existing framework of international criminal law and to apply it more determinedly to corporate contexts.

Abstract This article inquires into strategic litigation in international criminal justice. Drawing on the findings of an empirical study, it sheds light on the practice and self-perception of Strategic Litigation NGOs (so-called SLiNGOs) who employ international criminal law not only as an advocacy tool but use litigation to target perpetrators of international crimes as part of a larger juridical–political strategy transcending the individual case. Following a brief reflection on the role and significance of NGOs in international criminal justice in general and an examination of the basic idea of strategic litigation, the article delves into an analysis of the concept of strategic litigation as employed by SLiNGOs as well as the various functions of strategic litigation specifically in the international criminal justice context. Relying on interviews with SLiNGO representatives, the authors examine whether SLiNGOs — in their self-perception — serve merely as ‘assistant prosecutors’ or rather as kickstarters, pacemakers and watchdogs of the enforcement of international criminal law. They further explore the counter-hegemonic potential of strategic litigation and SLiNGO’s attitudes towards international criminal justice as such. Analysing potential pitfalls and critiques directed at strategic litigation and the responses of SLiNGOs to such criticisms, the authors conclude that strategic litigation can indeed fill a gap in the current state-based system of international criminal justice and suggest an agenda for further research.

Several times, the African Union has voiced concerns regarding the alleged “abuse” of the principle of universal jurisdiction. The Union refers in particular to the prosecution of ‘African leaders’ before European courts which, in the view of the Union, could endanger international law, order and security. Against this background, the author examines the exercise of universal jurisdiction in Africa as well as in Europe over accused from Africa. While there is support for the assumption that so-called low-cost accused are exposed disproportionally to universal jurisdiction, there is no evidence of a geographical or racial bias. The author points to three current trends in the exercise of universal jurisdiction: the decline of universal jurisdiction in Europe, the ‘reversion’ of universal jurisdiction and the regionalization of universal jurisdiction. The latter trend is demonstrated in particular by the prosecution of Hissène Habré ‘on behalf of Africa’ before the Extraordinary African Chambers in Senegal. The author suggests that the regionalization of universal jurisdiction may represent a novel mode of extraterritorial jurisdiction, which has the potential to ease European-African tensions in the area of international criminal justice.

Abstract Im Zusammenhang mit dem Auslaufen des umstrittenen Kronzeugengesetzes Ende 1999 hat die Frage, unter welchen Voraussetzungen es zulässig ist und sein soll, die Informantentätigkeit des Kronzeugen mit einem Strafnachlaß zu belohnen, neue Aktualität erhalten. Florian Jeßberger nähert sich der Figur des Kronzeugen aus einer strafzumessungsrechtlichen Perspektive.Nach einer Darstellung der unübersichtlichen Rechtslage und der je nach Deliktsbereich erheblich variierenden Anwendungspraxis ergibt eine Überprüfung anhand verfassungsrechtlicher und strafrechtssystematischer Maßstäbe, daß einzelne Bestimmungen des deutschen Rechts zum Teil nicht haltbar sind, die Verwendung von Kronzeugen aber nicht prinzipiell systemwidrig, sondern in engen Grenzen durchaus zulässig ist. Der deutschen Rechtslage werden die umfangreichen amerikanischen Erfahrungen im Umgang mit dem Kronzeugen gegenübergestellt, die bemerkenswerterweise trotz unterschiedlicher normativer Ausgangsbedingungen zu weitgehend parallelen Lösungssätzen führen. Rechtspolitische Schlußfolgerungen zur Einführung einer generellen Kronzeugenregelung und ein eigener Gesetzesvorschlag beschließen die Untersuchung.

On 24 February 2022, armed forces of the Russian Federation invaded Ukraine in a steep escalation of the still ongoing so-called Russo-Ukrainian War, with its origins reaching back to the occupation of the Crimea in 2014 and arguably even earlier. The impact of the recent attack, whose geographical reach extends far beyond the immediate war zone to encapsulate large parts of Europe, concerns the movement of refugees, the supply of food to the African continent, the global energy sector, and also international criminal justice. Once again, the development of international criminal law is being driven by conflict, violence, and mass atrocity. And indeed, subsequent to a much-debated phase often referred to as a ‘crisis’, in which international criminal justice in general and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in particular was subject to rather fundamental criticism regarding prosecutorial choices, the Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to have re-vitalized the idea of international criminal justice. Public and media interest in international criminal law expertise is substantial, the call for international criminal law proceedings loud, and states have been eager to provide the competent institutions, at the international as well as national level, with additional resources.

The Malabo Protocol adopted by the African Union in 2014 envisages the empowerment of the African Court of Justice and Human and People’s Rights, inter alia, with international criminal jurisdiction. The chapter reflects on three specific crimes which will be subject to the jurisdiction of the Court—piracy, terrorism, and mercenarism. It explores their origins in international treaties, analyses their elements and argues that these crimes (“transnational crimes”) must be distinguished from other crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court, such as genocide and war crimes (“crimes under international law”). The chapter shows that the Court will be the first international tribunal ever provided with jurisdiction over transnational crimes and concludes with the recommendation not to rashly repudiate the (perhaps: over-) ambitious project of regionalizing the enforcement of international and transnational criminal law.

The issue of whether interrogative torture may ever be tolerated has been discussed explicitly by both the Israeli High Court of Justice and the Frankfurt Regional Court in Germany. The Israeli court ruling related to the use of interrogative torture in the war on terror; the case brought before the German court was one of routine police work. This paper analyzes the two rulings in depth and offers a comparative reading of the rulings. The comparative analysis reveals that, despite some fundamental differences, the Israeli and German rulings should both be seen as an attempt to uphold the ban on torture, on the one hand, and yet to grant fair treatment to an individual interrogator who used, or threatened to use, force in order to save innocent lives, on the other. While determining the lessons to be learned from the German and Israeli experiences, this paper raises doubts as to whether it is possible to keep the ban on torture intact while either excusing the individual interrogator (Israel) or significantly mitigating his punishment (Germany). The paper further suggests that, in order to provide a real barrier against the practice of interrogative torture, the evidence resulting from such interrogations should be inadmissible in any criminal proceedings.

The author discusses whether a state agent who applies torture against a suspect in order to prevent the death of one or more innocent persons can successfully plead a ground for excluding his or her criminal responsibility under national (in particular, German) law as well as international law. The author examines the judgment of a German court, which recently found two police officers guilty of threatening to use violence against a suspected kidnapper, but refrained from punishing them on account of their motivation to save the life of the hostage. The author maintains that the court`s `guilty, but not to be punished` verdict could provide guidance for the resolution of comparable cases under international criminal law. He submits that the tension between the absolute ban on torture under international human rights law and the availability of defences even to crimes of torture under international criminal law should be resolved through a human rights-oriented interpretation of the latter. The author concludes that criminal responsibility for torture under international criminal law cannot be excluded by the fact that the torturer acts to save innocent life; however, his or her altruistic motivation may be taken into account in determining the sentence.

Ever since the trial against the major war criminals of World War II before the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg, the institution of punishment has beenan integral part of the international legal system. Nowadays, a large number of perpetrators and accomplices of crimes under international law – i.e. genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes – are being sent to jail by international judges. But why and to what aim do we punish individuals for their involvement in mass atrocities? How can we justify punishment by international criminal courts and tribunals vis-à-vis the affected individual? More generally: What are the (realistic) objectives of international criminal law?

This report summarises the proceedings of a workshop organised by the European Parliament’s Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI), in association with the Committee on Legal Affairs (JURI) and the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE). Academics and practitioners discussed international trends as regards the concept of universal jurisdiction and the EU’s approach to promoting universal jurisdiction through its external relations, as well as practical experience in applying universal jurisdiction in the fight against impunity in Europe. The experts agreed that universal jurisdiction can play a role as part of a wider accountability strategy, complementary to international courts and prosecutions on other jurisdictional bases. They recommended more specialised training for investigators, prosecutors, judges and law enforcement staff for universal jurisdiction cases and more cooperation at EU and international level. Speakers supported the initiative for a multilateral treaty on mutual legal assistance and extradition. Special attention in universal jurisdiction cases must be given to victims seeking justice, including for sexual and gender-based crimes.

Abstract This article takes the 20th anniversary of the entering into force of the German Code of Crimes against International Law (Völkerstrafgesetzbuch, CCAIL) as an opportunity to offer a historical review of the prosecution of international crimes in (West-)Germany. Starting from the post-World War II period, it flags early milestones, including efforts to hold accountable before German courts those involved in Nazi atrocities, in state oppression in the German Democratic Republic, in violations of international humanitarian law during the Yugoslav wars, and in dictatorship crimes in Argentina. This article then focuses on the practical implementation of the CCAIL and presents, at a glance, major trends, flaws and lessons learned over the past 20 years. It identifies four major phases: standstill, build-up, implementation and consolidation. This article concludes with a call for German judges and prosecutors to step up their efforts to contribute to a uniform and universal enforcement of international criminal law.
