The paper deals with the problem of imposing a suspended sentence in terms of statistical indicators in law enforcement practice of Russia and Germany. Suspended sentence models in the criminal law of both countries are comparable and have common historical backgrounds of the Franco-Belgian system of suspended sentence known as sursis. A comparative analysis of the national approaches to the legislative regulation of suspended sentence and statistics of imposing this kind of sentence as a form of criminal responsibility implementation allows one to clarify the value of suspended sentence in the priority system of criminal policy in both countries. The author concludes that within the narrow legislative framework for imposing a suspended sentence stipulated in German criminal law, this penal measure is more typical for Germany when the criminals are sentenced to short terms of imprisonment.

This article explores, whether domestic judges might be held accountable under international criminal law (ICL). To date, international criminal justice has almost entirely focused on prosecuting political or military leaders. The Justice Case tried before the Nuremberg Military Tribunal in 1946 marks the most prominent exception. Prior to it, the judiciary – otherwise considered the epitome of justice – had mutated into a murderous machinery under Nazi rule. Judicial decisions do have far-reaching implications possibly constituting or contributing to international crimes. This holds true in a wide range of cases, for instance on practices of warfare and torture, on the use of certain weapon technologies, or on policies relating to minorities or racial segregation. I argue that domestic judges are accountable when engaging in international crimes. The article delves into technical aspects of criminal law; as well as the notions of judicial independence and immunity. While guaranteeing the rule of law, these two notions challenge the core idea of ICL: its equal application vis-à-vis all perpetrators of international crimes irrespective of official capacity. In order to differentiate due judicial conduct and its abuse in violation of ICL, I suggest a threshold a judicial act needs to exceed for entailing accountability for an international crime.
