 | | In its widest context, the source of international criminal law might be derived from the general principles of international law recognized by civilized nations; and therefore, found in the customary law accepted by states, the general criminal law recognized by nations, and the treaties which govern particular conduct. | | | International criminal law can also be categorized according to whether the conduct in question is international, constituting an offense against the world community, or whether the act is transnational, affecting the interests of more than one state. | | | The Preparatory Commission for the Establishment of an International Criminal Court was established by Resolution F of the Final Act of the United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court, which adopted the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on 17 July 1998. |

| | Copyrights are generally enforced by the holder in a civil law court, but there are also criminal infringement statutes. | | | Once the term of a copyright has expired, the formerly copyrighted work enters the public domain and may be freely used or exploited by anyone, as courts in the United States and the United Kingdom have rejected the doctrine of a common law copyright. | | | Copyright law does not restrict anyone from reselling legitimately obtained copies of copyrighted works, provided that those copies were originally produced by or with the permission of the copyright holder. |

| | The permanent International Criminal Court with universal jurisdiction is to be welcomed, and the Assembly reaffirms its Recommendation 1408 (1999) on the International Criminal Court, calling in particular on the member states to ratify the Court's Statute as soon as possible. | | | Of course allegations of serious violations of international humanitarian law have to be proven, and this is the task of national courts or of the relevant international courts which have custody of the offender. | | | However, no international tribunal can take the place of states in meeting their obligation to ensure the proper enforcement of international humanitarian law in regard to persons committing violations of that law, ordering others to commit them or condoning these actions, wherever they take place and irrespective of the nationality of their author. |

| | As the YugoslavTribunal has determined, “customary international law imposes individual criminal responsibility for serious violations of Common Article 3, as supplemented by other general principles and rules for the protection of victims of internal armed conflict, and for breaching certain fundamental principles and rules regarding means and methods of combat in civil strife.”41 | | | Although in cases of joint army-paramilitary action, both share responsibility for violations of international humanitarian law, we believe the onus lies with the state force in these cases, pledged to protect the rights of citizens and uphold the law, not develop and support means to circumvent and violate it. | | | The use of antipersonnel land mines by all parties to the conflict is already banned under the provisions of international humanitarian law that protect civilians from indiscriminate attack and that mandate that parties to a conflict refrain from using weapons that exact a disproportionate toll on civilians. |
