Based on historical analysis of the development of international criminal law, it could be concluded, that there was no notion of the criminal liability of legal persons on the international level, despite the fact, that international criminal tribunals were dealing with such issue - author focuses namely on the Nuremberg Tribunal’s criminal organisations, the Yugoslavian Tribunal’s joint criminal enterprise and the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. This was changed by decisions of the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, which sentenced a legal person for the first time in the international criminal justice history. This decision was reflected also in the work of the International Law Commission, namely in the Draft Articles on Crimes against Humanity. The International Law Commission deals with the liability of legal persons for crimes against humanity and formulates, that it is up to the states if they will establish civil, administrative or criminal liability for their acts.
