Legal responsibility of the military commander to prevent or punish the acts of human trafficking under the Rome Statute

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

This chapter discusses the legal obligation of the military commander to prevent or punish acts of human trafficking under the Rome Statute. As opposed to direct commission of the crimes under international law, superior responsibility is used to hold superiors accountable for their omission. The superior may be held criminally responsible for the acts of his subordinates if three general conditions are met. Firstly, the existence of a superior-subordinate relationship, defined by effective control, must be established. Secondly, knowledge of the superior that the crime was about to be, was being, or had been committed, must be proven. Lastly, there must be a failure of the superior to take the necessary and reasonable measures to prevent or stop the crime, or to punish the perpetrator. This chapter discusses the requirements for commander responsibility in relation to human trafficking as a crime against humanity and war crime under the Rome Statute. The requirement of effective control will be defined, with the focus on the recent judgment of the Appeal Chambers in the Bemba case. The most controversial duty of the commander, as introduced in the Blaškić case, is the positive obligation to actively search for information leading to a conclusion that the crime has been, or is about to be, committed. Whether a commander has such an obligation will be defined in the light of Bemba case. This chapter will also demonstrate that what constitutes “necessary and reasonable” measures that have to be proven in order to fulfil a commander’s duty, and whether remoteness of the commander has an influence on his responsibility to prevent human trafficking done by his subordinates.
