This collection of essays by sixteen outstanding authorities in the relevant fields assesses The International Criminal Court from the perspective of the year 1998 when it was first established by the Rome Statute.
The book's detailed analysis of the potential uses (and misuses) of the Statute--its lacunae and shortcomings as well as its signal advances in jurisdiction and accountability--make International Crimes, Peace and Human Rights a significant reference and guide, not only to the Rome Statute, but also to the Court's jurisprudence as it develops in the coming years and decades.
Published under the Transnational Publishers imprint.
