THE PRINCIPLE OF DISREGARDING OFFICIAL CAPACITY IN INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL LAW
Main Article Content
Abstract
The subjects of international law are states and international organisations, but individuals have also become subject to international criminal responsibility for committing international crimes. International criminal courts have addressed this issue, and based on the principle of holding individuals accountable, immunity cannot be used as a means of escaping punishment. Most international agreements and conventions have emphasised the disregard of the official capacity of the perpetrator in committing a crime, regardless of their status as head of state or military commander
