Criminal liability for international crimes: a question of legislative resolving

The article analyzes particular provisions of Ukrainian legislation on criminal liability for crimes against peace, human security, humanity, and the international legal order. Attention is focused on certain inconsistencies in the content of the specified criminal offenses with the title of Chapter XX of the Special Part of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Attention is drawn to the danger of the specified crimes for the existence of humanity on planet Earth, to their encroachment on the rights, freedoms, honor, dignity, life, health of an unspecified number of people, and therefore it is proposed to amend the title of Chapter XX of the Special Part and place them (legal norms on criminal responsibility for committing international crimes) at the beginning of the Special part of the draft Criminal Code of Ukraine.
