Članek obravnava sodno prakso Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča v zvezi s steki kaznivih dejanj, predvsem v zvezi z razmerjem med mednarodnimi hudodelstvi z istim naravnim in zakonskim izvršitvenim ravnanjem. Poudarek je na kritični predstavitvi trenutne sodne prakse MKS in njeni primerjavi s sodno prakso Mednarodnega kazenskega sodišča za nekdanjo Jugoslavijo (MKSJ) in Ruando (MKSR). MKS namreč s svojo sodno prakso sledi dosedanji sodni praksi mednarodnega kazenskega prava in za mednarodna hudodelstva z istim izvršitvenim ravnanjem uporablja pravi stek, čeprav bi moralo v skladu z načelom specialnosti samostojnost ohraniti le najhujše hudodelstvo. Po drugi strani pa MKS ne uporablja pravega steka med različnimi primeri istega mednarodnega hudodelstva, in to kljub njegovi osebni naravi in različnim žrtvam.

The main focus of this paper is on the case law of the ICC on the merger of offences, especially in regard to the relationship between different international crimes with the same physical act. The case law of ICC is critically analysed and compared to the case law of the International Court for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Ruanda (ICTR). The current case law of the ICC follows the case law of the ICTY and ICTR and focuses on the relationship between different international crimes. When the crimes against humanity and war crimes for example have the same act, they are both prosecuted, even though they are based on the same actual situation. Even though in my opinion according to its lex specialis nature only the worst international crime should be prosecuted. On the other hand, only one case of each international crime is prosecuted as a sample to the pattern of the perpetrator’s behaviour despite its personal nature and different victims.
