The Act on Criminal Responsibility for Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes of 28 May 2014 (2014:406), domesticates the core Rome Statute crimes, except for the crime of aggression. There are a few underlying acts under crimes against humanity and war crimes not implemented under Swedish legislation. This Act also incorporates all the general principles of criminal law except for the “irrelevance of official capacity.” Cooperation with the ICC is provided for in the “Cooperation with the International Criminal Court Act (2002.329)” and the “Cooperation with the International Criminal Court Ordinance No. 2003.69.” |
