The Principle of Legality in International Criminal Law
Keywords:
Criminal law, international law, international criminal law, principle of legality, International Criminal Court, European Court of Human RightsAbstract
Based on the finding that international law has no Acts, in the similar sense as domestic law has, and therefore, in this area cannot apply the principle of legality with the same meaning and content (nullum crimen sine lege), this paper seeks to explain what has been the understanding of this principle in the international arena, where it has been more clearly defined as a principle of jurisdicity (nullum crimen sine iure), yet anyway aims to meet the international standard as a human right and a basic principle of justice, even international criminal justice.
