In the global legal standard there is no single concept of international crimes. However, they present its main features. Various sources found such a definition as "an international crime against humanity and peace". Many scientists and the UN Commission consider these terms synonymous. In this regard, it was decided not to introduce a General definition. The UN Commission came to the conclusion that the establishment of the General limits of the concept, defining international crimes, the concept and types of offences under the Charter of the Nuremberg Tribunal (article 6), should be implemented.
Currently, in the global and domestic literature offers many definitions. After analyzing them, the experts tried to formulate a General definition. International criminal offence constitutes a violation of worldwide legislation. It involves individual punishment for the person committing the act. The main feature of the act is its fundamental jurisdiction of the courts of any country that wants to and has the ability to initiate the appropriate proceedings. This feature distinguishes international crimes from ordinary acts of harassment which relates to the doctrine of state sovereignty.
The international Crimes constitute an affront to peaceful cooperation in different spheres of the relationship: economic, socio-cultural, economic and so on. Such acts cause damage to legal entities and citizens of different countries. Punishment for international crimes can be established in respective interstate agreements. However, such treaties must be ratified by countries that sign them. Bringing to justice the perpetrators of this case is carried out within a specific state jurisdiction. Such acts usually include piracy, hijacking, counterfeiting, production and distribution of drugs and so on.

Researchers have identified several of the most significant legal consequences of the classification of offences as international crimes.
The List of persons acts in respect of which are recognised as international crimes enshrined in the relevant Convention. According to the document, to the subjects under protection are as follows:
It is set in the offences, if committed:
Unlike the domestic legal system, international law provides for a broader range of acts. It does not matter the motive by which he committed the assault. The main provisions regarding the special protection of persons established in the conventions. One of them was adopted in 1994. She reglamentary security of UN staff and associated persons. the latter, in particular, include peacekeeping operations, employees, non-governmental organizations in providing humanitarian assistance. Attacks on such entities are recognized as offences under national criminal law.
This crime is characterized as a dangerous terrorist act. Originally, hostage-taking, classified as a violation of generally accepted norms only in the case that was associated with armed conflict. The description of the crime established in the Convention from 1979, which in 1987 joined the USSR. In the document particularly says that the subject that captures and holds another person, threatening to kill, harm, or continues to hold it to make a state, intergovernmental organization or any citizen/legal entity to perform an act as a prerequisite for liberation, makes the taking of hostages. As such crime is also considered an attempt and participation in such act. In this case we are talking about a crime of an international character. In this regard, article 13 of the Convention stipulates that the provisions of the document do not apply to cases where the seizure of citizens committed in the territory of one country, and the attacker and the victim are the citizens while the first is in this state. Itthe note sets out the framework for interaction between Nations in the fight against such crime. Along with this, the reservation does not prevent the government of the state to provide in their own legislation the penalty for any act of hostage-taking.
The Illegal operations associated with the manufacture, sale of these substances over many decades serve as the object of international regulatory exposure. In the world today are of the Single Convention on psychotropic and narcotic drugs. They suggest a broad legal regulation, prescribe methods of control over trafficking in illicit connections. In particular, the penalty for illegal:
As the new law stands the UN Convention, regulating the methods of combating illicit trafficking of such compounds. This document was adopted in 1988 the Soviet Union ratified it in 1989. the Convention stipulates that the eradication of the illegal distribution, manufacturing, storage of narcotics, psychotropic substances acts as a collective responsibility of all countries. The list of acts that qualify as an intentional violation of the requirements provided in article 3. The national law also provides for liability for such acts. A complex value has FZ "On narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances", adopted in 1998. it approved the main principles of the governmental policy in the sphere of illicit trafficking in those substances, there are references to international acts.
This crime is also described in the relevant UN Convention. The document notes that the conduct of this kind threatens the safety of property and persons, causes substantial damage to air communication, undermines citizens ' trust in the safety of flight. Characteristics of crimes given in article 1 of the Convention. As acts are illegal, with violence or under the threat or other form of intimidation, the seizure of the aircraft or exercise control over it, taken by any actor on Board, staying in flight. This category of crimes includes also the attempt to commit and complicity in it. The plane is staying in flight from the moment of closing the outer door after committing the loading to open any of them to upload. The Convention applies to cases when the place of actual landing or takeoff is outside check of the aircraft. It would not matter, were committed in internal or international flights.
The Convention does not limit States in establishing liability in private law for such crimes. In Russia the question of punishment is solved as follows. The responsibility is not due to the factors outlined in the Convention relating to the cooperation between the countries. It applies to all cases of seizure or hijacking. The punishment applies to acts committed not only in flight, but during his stay on earth. Restrictive provisions established in the Convention, do not affect national jurisdiction.
Now allocate another category, cross-border crime. As a rule, such acts constitute infringement of harming the interests of organizations or citizens of different countries. That is, the damages in this case extends beyond the boundaries of one state. Such a character recently bought and organized crime.
