Summary
The codification of a mode of liability such as indirect perpetration is new to international law. Article 25(3)(a) of the ICC Statute covers a wider range of situations than the classic concepts of indirect perpetration, based on innocent agency, in national law. Innocent agency applies in cases where the perpetrator, considered non-culpable, is used as an innocent tool for the commission of a crime by the indirect perpetrator, who is considered a principal to the crime. In the non-innocent agent modality, both the indirect perpetrator and the agent can be held culpable as principals to the crime. The draft ICC Statute had for a long time only provided for the classic form of indirect perpetration: ‘commits such a crime, whether as an individual, jointly with another, or through a person who is not criminally responsible’.
