| Course Description |
International law has traditionally applied to States and not to individuals. Under classical international law, whenever a person committed a crime, he or she was punished by his or her State, and where a crime was committed against a person abroad, his or her State took up the case on his or her behalf before international tribunals. However, following the atrocities of the First and Second World Wars, International criminal law became applicable to individuals. Individuals, no matter how highly placed, are today held liable for crimes committed against their own citizens or foreigners living among them. International criminal law course governs individual criminal responsibility, or liability, for international crimes, as opposed to State liability for crimes. International law has traditionally applied to States and not to individuals. |
| Course Description in Turkish |
Uluslararası hukuk geleneksel olarak bireylere değil, Devletlere uygulanır. Klasik uluslararası hukuka göre, bir kişi bir suç işlediğinde, kendi Devleti tarafından cezalandırılır ve yurtdışındaki bir kişiye karşı bir suç işlendiğinde, bu kişinin Devleti, davayı onun adına uluslararası mahkemeler önünde üstlenir. Ancak Birinci ve İkinci Dünya Savaşları'ndaki vahşetlerin ardından, uluslararası ceza hukuku bireylere de uygulanabilir hale geldi. Günümüzde bireyler, ne kadar yüksek konumda olursa olsun, kendi vatandaşlarına veya aralarında yaşayan yabancılara karşı işlenen suçlardan sorumlu tutulmaktadır. Uluslararası ceza hukuku dersi, devletin suçlara ilişkin sorumluluğunun aksine, uluslararası suçlara ilişkin bireysel cezai sorumluluğu veya sorumluluğu yönetir. Uluslararası hukuk geleneksel olarak bireylere değil, Devletlere uygulanır. |
