Based on a final project for an Expert Degree in General Theory of Crime, the research examines Nicaraguan criminal legislation, integrating the doctrine of Ibero-American authors and the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Court. It is a practical tool for law students and professionals seeking to understand the mechanisms of imputation by omission in hierarchical command contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book addresses the legal figure of the omission of a hierarchical superior as a form of participation in the crime of torture. It focuses on how Nicaraguan criminal law regulates the liability of those who, having a duty to control, prevent, or repress these behaviors, fail to act. The author breaks down the doctrinal elements of various Ibero-American jurists and contrasts these positions with the jurisprudential criteria established by the International Criminal Court. The text not only describes the regulatory framework but also delves into the requirements for imputing criminal liability by omission, offering a systematic journey that connects the general theory of crime with a specific case of international criminality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCriminal liability for the omission of hierarchical superiors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the crime of torture in Nicaraguan criminal legislation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIbero-American doctrine on omission in the chain of command.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eJurisprudence of the International Criminal Court applicable to superior responsibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationship between the general theory of crime and international crimes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at law students taking courses on the theory of crime or international criminal law, as well as lawyers, prosecutors, judges, and academics specializing in criminal law and human rights.
