GENOCIDE AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY IN THE VISION OF ECTHR

Even if the crimes of genocide and crimes against humanity are to be judged by International Penal Court or other international tribunals, still the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has been called to analyze these types of crimes from a different perspective, that is the perspective of procedural and other human rights of the accused, especially the right provided for by art. 7 of European Convention of Human Rights - No punishment without law. The present article aims to analyze the ECtHR caselaw in respect to the clarity, forseeability and non-retroactive application of the criminal norm.
