Although this may appear to diverge from the book’s central focus—the doctrine of superior responsibility—this chapter wishes to explore its application beyond the traditional scope of core international crimes. This is justified by the fact that such crimes are, at their core, grave human rights violations. Accordingly, where additional categories of human rights violations are recognized as international crimes, superior responsibility remains applicable. This chapter then investigates whether, and under what legal grounds, a superior may be held criminally responsible for human rights violations committed, or about to be committed, by their subordinates. Using syllogistic reasoning and a victim-centered lens, it explores the doctrine’s potential extension to gross violations beyond core crimes. The analysis targets three regimes: United Nations ad hoc tribunals, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and national jurisdictions. These mechanisms increasingly demonstrate the feasibility of prosecuting military and political superiors for serious violations such as rape and enforced disappearance, particularly when linked to failures to prevent or punish. A normative framework based on a severity scale is introduced to assess whether specific violations meet the threshold for superior responsibility under international law. The chapter argues that this expansion is both legally grounded and normatively necessary for enhancing accountability and victim access to justice. In conclusion, it offers concluding reflections for the book as a whole, synthesizing its legal, normative, and institutional insights to inform future applications of superior responsibility across a wider spectrum of (inter)national criminal justice.
