This book tackles one of the most contentious aspects of
international criminal law - the modes of liability. At the heart
of the discussion is the quest for balance between the accused's
individual contribution and the collective nature of mass
offending. The principle of legality demands that there exists a
well-defined link between the crime and the person charged with it.
This is so even in the context of international offending, which
often implies 'several degrees of separation' between the direct
perpetrator and the person who authorises the atrocity. The
challenge is to construct that link without jeopardising the
interests of justice. This monograph provides the first
comprehensive treatment of complicity within the discipline and
beyond. Extensive analysis of the pertinent statutes and
jurisprudence reveals gaps in interpreting accessorial liability.
Simultaneously, the study of complicity becomes a test for the
general methods and purposes of international criminal law. The
book exposes problems with the sources of law and demonstrates the
absence of clearly defined sentencing and policy rationales, which
are crucial tools in structuring judicial discretion. Awarded The
Paul Guggenheim Prize in International Law 2017!
