BASIC SOURCES OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL OFFENCES

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the analysis of primary sources of responsibility for international crimes within the framework of contemporary international criminal law. Special attention is paid to the role of international treaties as key legal acts in defining crimes and determining responsibility, with a focus on the most significant instruments of international law. The paper further discusses the importance of the statutes of the ad hoc tribunals, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, which have contributed through their practice to the development of standards of criminal responsibility at the international level. A separate part of the paper is devoted to general legal principles recognized by enlightened peoples, as well as to general principles of international criminal law, which represent an important source for filling legal gaps and ensuring fairness in proceedings. The analysis of the above sources indicates their mutual connection and complementarity in building a system of responsibility for the most serious criminal offenses of importance to the international community. The aim of the paper is to examine the importance and scope of these sources in the formation and application of the norms of international criminal law, as well as their influence on the development of modern legal standards.
