Abstract

The title of my thesis is whether prosecutions do or do not stand in the way of peace. In international criminal law, criminals who are heads of state or symbols of state, like members of royalty, often do not receive the punishment they deserve. Whether or not to prosecute them is also a problematic issue that often leads to international conflicts if not appropriately handled. To address this issue, there are often different solutions for different situations. I will use the following four cases to analyze whether prosecution is appropriate in different situations and what consequences may occur after prosecution. My thesis has five parts; the first part is the case “After world war II, Should the emperor of Japan be prosecuted."The second part of my thesis is the case about "the government of Uganda prosecuted the head of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). " The third part of my thesis is “SLC and Mišelović. "Milosevic is the first person who was prosecuted as a head of a country. The fourth part of my thesis is about “ Pugin and Russia." In the end, the conclusion is about Whether or not prosecutions do or do not stand in the way of peace; it depends on the different situations.
