PROBLEMI DI ADEGUAMENTO DEGLI ORDINAMENTI INTERNI AL DIRITTO INTERNAZIONALE IN TEMA DI CRIMINI INTERNAZIONALI

The thesis explores the issue of implementation of international crimes. Implementing international criminal norms is far more complex than implementing other international norms and it also poses different challenges to States. This work aims at understanding the inherent reasons of this complexity, as well as the main difficulties that States generally face in this field. After an overview of the role of national legal orders in international criminal justice, the research focuses on problems related to the incorporation of international crimes into domestic legal orders. The thesis is not only an analysis of national implementing legislation on international crimes, but it is also an attempt to deal with the subject from the point of view of international law. The thesis thus addresses the issue of international obligations imposed on States in relation to international crimes, in the attempt to identify existing gaps in international law and to envisage future perspectives in the field.
