International and national armed conflicts, mass violence, terrorism, organised crime, large-scale environmental crimes, etc. are a permanent threat to mankind and the entire planet. One way to respond to these threats is the creation of criminal responsibility for individuals (and corporations). Typically, criminal law is considered the manifestation of the ultima ratio application of the monopoly of power by national states. But in a globalised world and the transnational crime associated with it, criminal law leaves the strict boundaries of the national state and its territory aside to form a new subcategory of law: International Criminal Law. The examination, the deeper understanding, and the application of this legal subsystem are the primary goals//objectives of this course. To generate a better understanding of the functions and the logic of this system of international criminal law and how it interacts with other legal and non-legal systems (such as truth commissions, customary procedures, etc.), this course is divided into three main parts:  

1. General concepts of international criminal law: Four categories

2. ‘Atrocity crimes’: International Criminal Law strictu sensu

3. Transitional Justice: Plurality of legal, quasi-legal, and non-legal responses to mass violence and large-scale conflicts.
