Abstract

Customary international law, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court and the Statute of the Ad Hoc International Criminal Court all stipulate the responsibility of current commanders, but in practice, the responsibility of outgoing commanders and successive commanders is often involved. In order to prevent a vacuum state in the application of international humanitarian law and effectively protect human rights, on the basis of summarizing the main points of the judgment on the responsibility of the commander, the preliminary conclusions are drawn: the command responsibility should be expanded to apply to outgoing commanders and successive commanders, emphasizing the responsibility of prevention for outgoing commanders and the responsibility of punishment for successive commanders.
