Die Strafzumessung im Völkerstrafrecht unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der Rechtssprechung der Ad-hoc-Tribunale der Vereinten Nationen

»Sentencing in International Criminal Law under Consideration of the Judgements of the Ad-hoc-Tribunals of the United Nations«

Being the precursor of International Criminal Law, the Ad-hoc-Tribunals established important legal guidelines through their judgements regarding sentencing. The thesis inquires if and how the Ad-hoc-tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Ruanda reach their sentences and which factors aggravate or mitigate the sentence. A critical review of the rendered judgements demonstrates that the legal practice of the Ad-hoc-Tribunals has room for improvement in this aspect concerning the regions mentioned.
