Resumen: Las características jurídicas generales de los crímenes de guerra
permiten estudiar integralmente los actos señalados, para comprender su
esencia, lo que a su vez, facilita y mejora la calidad de la calificación penal
de los delitos contra la realización del procedimiento establecido para el
servicio militar activo. Su necesidad se debe a que el ámbito del servicio
activo es intersectorial, ya que se encuentra regulado simultáneamente por
normas de diversas ramas del Derecho. Los autores describen las
principales características de los crímenes de guerra y determinan las
especificidades de su regulación tanto por el Derecho penal como por otras
ramas del Derecho. Los autores proporcionan una base analítica con el fin
de evaluar las disposiciones de los actos jurídicos reglamentarios que
regulan el procedimiento del servicio activo y determinar las principales
características de los crímenes de guerra. Los hallazgos de la investigación
fueron que los crímenes de guerra infringen la orden legal de realizar el
servicio activo, mientras que los sujetos de tales actos ilegales son el
personal militar, las personas sujetas al servicio militar y el personal con
obligaciones de reserva durante la asamblea de batalla. Las características
legales generales de los crímenes de guerra se forman teniendo en cuenta
las características penales y legales de los delitos señalados y definen las
características específicas del servicio activo; el procedimiento establecido
para la prestación del servicio activo; personal militar, personas sujetas al
servicio militar y personal con obligaciones de reserva durante el montaje
de batalla como sujetos del delito.
