Cíle předmětu
This class will examine selected topics in International Criminal Law (ICL). We will explore the history and development of ICL with an emphasis on the Ad Hoc International Tribunals and the International Criminal Court (ICC). The course will analyze jurisdictional issues of international criminal courts and the elements of substantive international crimes, such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression. This course will offer a detailed overview of theories of liability and defenses in ICL. Finally, the course will conclude with a discussion of practical aspects of ICL such as custody issues, post-conflict justice, and the direction of ICL as a field.
