Principles of individual responsibilty for violations if international humanitarian law after the ICTY.

This thesis examines the evolution and current state of international law regarding personal liability for violations of international humanitarian law. It identifies both liability for participation in an inchoate offence, mainly planning or conspiracy, ordering or inciting, hate propaganda and complicity, but it also takes into account liability for omissions recognised in humanitarian law. Hence, the doctrine of command responsibility is analysed and put to the test in relation to the case-law before the ICTY. This analysis has suggested the need for the promulgation of an additional duty, defined herein as a "duty to control".
