The emergence of legal rules governing criminal liability for genocide represents the
natural response of society in the face of criminal phenomena that can not be categorized otherwise
than atrocities. Punishing those responsible for committing these abominations is the result of strong
consecration of fundamental principles of international humanitarian law. Regulations concerning the
methods and means of wearing the war, limiting or prohibiting the use of certain types of weapons
and ammunition and protection of victims of armed conflict is precisely the meaning of prevention of
genocide. Starting from the basic principles of international humanitarian law, the international
community has expressed a desire to define the concept of genocide rigorously and clearly as
possible, thus being created the prerequisites for the criminalization of actions and deeds circumcised
to the genocide phenomenon with which humanity faced throughout history. Studying genocide, a
serious violation of human rights, can help us understand where that offense and other acts of mass
violence are likely to occur and may lead to warning signs of impending violence and can suggest
ways such acts can be prevented. |
