Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the doctrinal understanding of the purposes of punishment in international criminal law. The author notes that there is a certain unity in this issue in the Russian and foreign doctrine of international criminal law. The practice of international criminal tribunals ad hoc, recognized by Russia, is also analyzed in terms of understanding the purposes of punishment. General issues of such types of punishment as life imprisonment and imprisonment for a certain period are studied.
