Criminal Responsibility for the Crime of Aggression - Patrycja Grzebyk - Bog

Since the Nuremberg trial, the crime of aggression has been considered one of the gravest international crimes. However, since the 1940s no defendants have been charged with this crime, with some states actively opposing the notion of punishing aggression. Criminal Responsibility for the Crime of Aggression explores the scope of criminal responsibility of individuals for crimes of aggression and asks why those responsible for aggression are not brought to justice. In its extensive analysis of international trials on aggression, and its synthesis of legal, political and historical rhetoric, this book offers broad insight into the criminal responsibility of individuals on a world stage.
