The Role of the Injured Party in Compensation in International Law

Abstract

This article seeks to examine the role of damaged in compensation in international law by using descriptive analysis. The findings suggest the Roman law, on the assumption that the offender commits a crime, he was excluded from receiving any kind of damage, without the type and extent of his involvement in the investigation of the loss. In the old system there was no common law as well. But gradually, the rule of law amended particularly in the common law. International Convention determined the manner of assessment of loss on the basis of new transaction replaced the violated transaction. The victim of the violation, by the seller or the buyer, he can terminate the transaction price difference between primary and alternative assumptions or purchase contract to receive compensation that is applied to alternative transaction.
