This comprehensive introduction to international criminal law
addresses the big issues in the subject from an interdisciplinary
perspective. Expert contributors include international lawyers,
judges, prosecutors, criminologists and historians, as well as the
last surviving prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials. Serving as a
foundation for deeper study, each chapter explores key academic
debates and provides guidelines for further reading. The book is
organised around several themes, including institutions, crimes and
trials. Purposes and principles place the discipline within a broader
context, covering the relationship with human rights law, transitional
justice, punishment and the imperatives of peace. Several tribunals
are explored in depth, as are many emblematic trials. The book
concludes with perspectives on the future.
