Subjects of the Crime in the light of international treaties in wartime (comparative analysis)

Abstract

The issue of optimizing the mechanism of prosecution of the subjects of the crime in connection with Russia’s war against Ukraine launched in February 2022, as a result of which impunity of war criminals is gaining momentum and leads to violation of legislation, both in Ukraine and in the world, in particular in such countries as: Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, etc. In this regard, the purpose of this editorial is twofold: on the one hand, it seeks to present volume 41, number 76 of “Cuestiones Políticas” and, on the other hand, is to highlight the issue of the subject of the crime, its signs and main features, enshrined in international legal acts. It was concluded that the analysis of international treaties gives grounds to affirm that the subject of the subject of the crime is quite widely disclosed and attention is paid to the separation of the concepts of subjects of international crimes and subjects of crimes of international character; the difference between these concepts is fundamental and very important. Taking into account the attitude of the international community to the concept of the subject of crime, possible areas for improvement of the current legislation are outlined.
