The International Criminal Court has ushered in a new era in the
protection of human rights. Protecting against genocide, crimes
against humanity and war crimes, the Court acts when national justice
systems are unwilling or unable to do so. Written by the leading
expert in the field, the fourth edition of this seminal text considers
the Court in action: its initial rulings, cases it has prosecuted and
cases where it has decided not to proceed, such as Iraq. It also
examines the results of the Review Conference, by which the crime of
aggression was added to the jurisdiction of the Court and addresses
the political context, such as the warming of the United States to the
Court and the increasing recognition of the inevitability of the
institution.
