Core Crimes

Corte penale internazionale

The Core Crimes cluster deals with the most serious violations of international law, which are of concern to the international community as a whole. These include the so called crimina iuris gentium – genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression – as well as any other serious violation of human rights perpetrated by(or otherwise attributable to) a State, even if committed outside the framework of a widespread or systematic attack against a civilian population. The cluster studies the definition of those crimes and the legal instruments enacted to ensure their repression by national, international and hybrid tribunals.

The subject lends itself to interdisciplinary reflection, involving scholars from different fields (philosophy of law, international law, criminal law and criminal procedure). The cluster benefits from the well-established collaboration between the Department of Law and the Italian Ministry of Defence, and in particular with the Office of Legal Affairs of the Air Operations Command in Poggio Renatico.

The activity of the Core Crimes cluster includes the organization of workshops, round tables and scientific seminars; educational initiatives for students and military and civilian personnel of the Ministry of Defence; the drafting of opinions and studies commissioned by third parties and the elaboration of amicus curiae, also in the framework of the legal clinic.
