Which rules of international law make the individual, even a Head of State, responsible for perpetrating serious human rights violations, such as war crimes, torture or genocide? This question is becoming more critical in an increasingly interdependent world.;In this work, the author argues that a new rule of international law stipulating individual responsibility for all serious human rights violations is currently emerging. To show how this is coming about, he explores relevant norms in classic laws of war, international humanitarian law and modern international human rights law and surveys patterns in their implementation. He then takes account of codification efforts of the International Law Commission, the changing position of the individual in international law, and other important developments in the context of general international law as an evolving system.

Contents:
Individual responsibility in positive laws of war; individual responsibility in international human rights law; patterns of implementation; codification of international responsibility; the position of the individual in international law; emergence of a general rule of individual responsibility for serious human rights violations. Appendix: Draft code of crimes against the peace and security of mankind.
