In order to prevent and punish international crimes, lots of relevant international conventions have been achieved by the international society, developing the international legislation. And several international judicial practices have promoted the fight from international society to international crimes. However, because of the differences between states in numerous aspects, and the limitation of the system among them, the international world works hardly to formulate harmonious and accordant criminal laws. This issue about the subjects of international crimes is very basic, but there is no affirmative conclusion by now. It refers to so many complicate questions that the rules are not clear and even the scope of subjects does not come to the last word.

Since the discussion about the qualification of nation as criminal subject turns to be firework, this chapter uses the logic mind which talks form nation and its responsibility, and then the form of offense, to the methods to take the rap finally. When it goes to the sub-nation, the dissertation nails down the concept and then shows the thought and conclusion on the criminalization, the sorts and their status.The issue about subjects of international criminal responsibility is a basic proposition in international criminal law, and the primary elements to prevent and punish international crimes as well.
