Abstract

International criminal law is a new, young branch of penal law that was established at the end of the 20th century. There are two main terms in this branch of law. These are: crime against international law and criminal sanction. The first fundamental term of international criminal law is crime against international law. There are several definitions of this term in legal theory. It represents an illegal, socially hazardous human act, committed with guilt, which is determined as a punishable act by the provisions of international and national law and for which a punishment may be imposed. Determined in such a manner, the definition of crime against international law determines its general and special elements. Also, legal theory is familiar with several different types of crimes against international law. In this paper, the author discusses various theoretical and practical perceptions of the term, elements and types of crimes against international law.
