Die Strafzumessung bei Taten nach dem Völkerstrafgesetzbuch

The German Code of Crimes against International Law (VStGB) forms the legal basis for the German judiciary to prosecute international crimes. In terms of sentencing, the VStGB refers to the general provisions of the German Criminal Code. In light of the specific nature of these crimes, Aziz Epik examines whether this is appropriate by analysing, discussing and comparing the law of sentencing under German and international criminal law.
