There is consensus that an Article 13 b referral can lead to the exercise of jurisdiction by the icc over crimes committed by individuals that are not nationals of a State party to the Statute and in territories that are not of a State party to the Statute. Efforts by expert bodies, such as the International Law Association and the International Association of Penal Law, culminated, inin the adoption of a treaty by the League of Nations that contemplated the establishment of an international criminal court. Known as the 'Leipzig Trials', the perceived failure of this early attempt at international justice haunted efforts in the inter-war years to develop a permanent international tribunal and were grist to the mill of those who opposed war crimes trials for the Nazi leaders. Japanese war criminals were tried under similar provisions to those used at Nuremberg.

Punishment and sentencing; Part VI.

An initial roster of nearly was quickly whittled down to about forty, and in the end only a dozen were actually tried. The Charter of the International Military Tribunal had been adopted after the crimes had been committed, and for this reason it was attacked as constituting ex post facto criminalisation.
He has written and edited many books on international law, criminal law and their relationship, and has taught international criminal law for more than twenty years on three continents.
He has published extensively in these fields. Japanese war criminals were tried under similar provisions to those used at Nuremberg. These focused on groups of defendants, such as judges, doctors, bureaucrats and military leaders.
Indeed, neither Sudan nor Libya is a State party to the Rome Statute; thus neither has consented to implementing the provision of the Rome Statute in their domestic law nor have they consented to the icc trying their nationals for acts committed within their territories.
Crimes such as genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes are often described as being international crimes punishable by any State regardless of any territorial or nationality link to the perpetrator or the victim. The Tribunal's jurisdiction was confined to three categories of offence: crimes against peace, war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Several important trials were held pursuant to Control Council Law No. But the code did not necessarily involve an international jurisdiction. The idea that there is some common denominator of behaviour, even in the most extreme circumstances of brutal armed conflict, confirms beliefs drawn from philosophy and religion about some of the fundamental values of the human spirit.
