International Tribunal for Chechnya: Legal Perspectives on Bringing to Individual Criminal Responsibility Persons Suspected of Committing War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity in the Course of the Armed Conflict in the Chechen Republic. Collective monograph. In 2 tons. In the proposed study, the authors analyze the crimes committed during the armed conflict in the Chechen Republic in the light of international criminal law, including the case law of the UN International Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. After a detailed analysis of the applicable law, many documented criminal episodes and a number of court decisions, the authors substantiate the thesis that massive violations of international humanitarian law and fundamental human rights committed by the parties to the conflict (federal forces and separatists) form elements of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and therefore fall within the scope of the principle of universality. Particular attention is paid to the issues of the alleged responsibility of representatives of the military command and the highest executive power of the Russian Federation, as well as the legal prospects for the prosecution of these persons. The book is addressed to lawyers, politicians, human rights activists, social scientists and all those who are interested in the settlement of armed conflicts, international criminal justice, the fight against international crimes and impunity.

Individual responsibility Conclusion Applications Summary (a summary of the content of the book in English) Detailed table of contents From the editor: The team of authors expresses their gratitude to all individuals and organizations that supported the preparation of this study, and above all to the National Endowment for Democracy (USA). This organization not only funded this work; its staff showed exceptional sensitivity and deep understanding of the difficulties faced by the authors, and provided invaluable moral support to the creative team. The preparation of the study was carried out for more than two years in difficult conditions. Even at the start, the murder of our friend and colleague Anna Politkovskaya, who was supposed to become a project consultant, was the hardest blow for us. Having begun work within the framework of the interregional public organization "Russian-Chechen Friendship Society", the authors almost immediately encountered opposition from the authorities. In 2006, the organization was liquidated in accordance with the norms of the so-called "anti-extremist legislation", its employees were subjected to a campaign of intimidation and harassment. The office of the new organization, the Nizhny Novgorod Foundation for Tolerance, on the basis of which the project continued to be implemented, was subjected to searches and seizures three times during the year. Twice law enforcement officials confiscated all the office equipment involved in the project, twice the material and technical base of the project was restored virtually from scratch. In connection with our activities, two criminal cases were initiated; none of them resulted in anyone being charged; but on the other hand, it made it possible to regularly pester the authors with interrogations, visits to work premises, and tedious surveillance. Even our foreign guests were detained. After the destruction of the office in March 2008, we were forced to transfer work to private apartments. As a result, the book, which was planned to be published by the spring of 2008 at the latest, we are presenting only now. Despite all this rather nervous situation and the calls of some colleagues to publish the work "at least in some form", we tried our best not to deviate from the declared scientific standard and not to "crumple" the fundamental issues that are subject to detailed consideration. We thank everyone who kindly agreed to read individual sections, chapters and their outlines, to make important recommendations, point out shortcomings to the authors and warn against mistakes. First of all, foreign experts in the field of international criminal law, international humanitarian law, human rights law and practicing lawyers. Unfortunately, we cannot list the names here at this time, for fear that information about cooperation with us may give the Russian authorities a reason to refuse them entry into Russia. All responsibility for the conclusions drawn and possible errors lies entirely on the conscience of the authors. We will be grateful for all critical comments and suggestions. Considering the complexity of the subject of the study and the huge amount of factual material used1, a competent reader will surely find inaccuracies in it, possibly very significant ones. Please don't judge them too harshly. Feci, quod potui, faciant meliora potentes2. Stanislav Dmitrievsky
