Notions such as complicity, accessory liability as well as aiding and abetting frequently appear in international criminal law. This study focuses on the relevant legal issues concerning secondary liability as a mode of individual criminal responsibility. Part A looks into the distinction between primary and secondary liability, the nature of secondary liability, and the approaches to prevent secondary liability from being overinclusive.

The main questions asked are how secondary liability relates to a system of perpetration and participation, how it is distinguished from other modes of liability and what its actus reus and mens rea elements are. In that regard, particular emphasis has been laid on the substantial and direct effect requirements, as well as on the notion of purposive facilitation.mehr
