Abstract
This working paper discusses the meaning of causation in international criminal law. Based on theoretical and comparative analyses, the paper argues for a normative interpretation of causality. As a normative concept, causality should be interpreted in light of: the collective and organized nature of international crimes; the notion of risk-taking; the hydraulic relation between acts reus and mens rea; and the notion of proximity.
