Note
-
The prosecutor charged the defendants, in the alternative, as accessories under Art. 25(3)(b) ICCSt. for 'ordering' the crimes committed by the militia members. The Chamber decided that accessorial liability was 'rendered moot' by a finding of liability as principals under Art. 25(3)(a) and hence did not further pursue the alternative of accessorial liability.

Note
-
The Chamber thus sidestepped the question whether it is permissible for the prosecutor to present alternative charges although Reg. 52(c) of the ICC Regulations requires '[a] legal characterization of the facts to accord both with the crimes under articles 6,7 or 8 and the precise form of participation under articles 25 and 28'.

Reichsgericht (Imperial Court), judgment of 7 January 1881, at 182-183. In the famous 'bathtub case'decided by the Imperial Court, a woman had given birth to a child out of wedlock. The woman asked her sister (S) to drown the baby in the bathtub, and S did so. The Imperial Court reversed the conviction of S for murder and suggested that she should be convicted of aiding and abetting infanticide because she wanted only to help her sister and had no personal interest in having the baby killed; see Reichsgericht, judgment of 19 February 1940, in 74 Entscheidungen des Reichsgerichts in Strafsachen (1940) 84

Cf. § 25 German Penal Code: '(1) Whoever commits the offence himself or through another person shall be punished as a perpetrator. (2) If several persons jointly commit the offence, each of them shall be punished as a perpetrator (co-perpetrator).' Instigation as well as aiding and abetting are defined separately in the following paragraphs. Although the Code's terse formulation leaves many questions open to interpretation, it seems clear that the Code does not espouse a purely subjective approach: under § 25(1), a person who'commits the offence' himself cannot be treated as a mere accessory, even if his subjective wish is only to help others to commit the offence.

Argues that the victim would not benefit if one member of the organization refused to carry out the order to commit the crime because 'as a rule' the criminal act would then be carried out by another member. Roxin obviously has in mind tight-knit large organizations such as the SS or the GDR's People's Army.

In order to make his concept applicable to the GDR regime ç which evidently did not operate 'outside the law' in most aspects of life ç Roxin claims that it is sufficient that an organization has distanced itself from the law in those areas where the crimes in question are being committed.

The question arises whether (and if so, why) the person performing the criminal act as a member of an organization can be held criminally responsible. Olásolo's suggestion raises the question why a person should be held responsible on the basis of a mere illusion of being an autonomous agent ç we would certainly not convict an insane man who claims to be totally normal and wishes to accept responsibility for what he did.

For a borderline German case, see Bundesgerichtshof, judgment of 15 September 1988, i n 35 Entscheidungen des Bundesgerichtshofes in Strafsachen (1989) 347-356: A couple (A and B) made their very gullible friend F believe that their enemy X needed to be killed in order to satisfy the evil 'cat king' (a devilish demon invented by A and B) who would otherwise kill millions of people. F eventually tried to kill X with a knife, believing that he was justified in killing one person in order to save millions of others. The Federal Court of Appeals held F responsible for attempted murder because his honest mistake of law could have been avoided. The Court nevertheless convicted A and B as perpetrators of attempted murder, arguing that they had made F totally dependent and had thus induced him to commit the act. The Court rejected a strict application of the 'autonomy principle' - which would have precluded the Court from convicting A and B as principals - and declared that the distinction between perpetration and mere instigation in cases such as the one before the Court depended on the kind and intensity of the actor's mistake as well as the intensity of the influence exerted by the person in the background .

pointing out that Art. 25(3)(a) through (d) ICCSt. contains a model of participation that distinguishes by degrees of responsibility.

See e. g. Judgment, Stakić (IT-97-24-A), Appeals Chamber, 22 March 2006, §62 (discussing status of indirect perpetration in international criminal law and rejecting a combination of indirect perpetration and co-perpetration as suggested by the Trial Chamber in the same case). Another attempt of Judge Schomburg to introduce indirect perpetration as a concept of international criminal law failed in Judgment, Simić (IT-95-9-A), Appeals Chamber, 28 November 2006 (Dissenting Opinion of Judge Schomburg, §§ 18-21). This is not the place to discuss the merits of the JCE doctrine, which has dominated the jurisprudence of ICTY and ICTR; for a recent thorough discussion.

The Pre-Trial Chamber abandoned the 'loose' approach taken in Lubanga and instead required the organization to have certain specific features as suggested by Roxin.
