The International Criminal Court ushered in a new era in the
protection of human rights. The Court prosecutes genocide, crimes
against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression when
national justice systems are either unwilling or unable to do so
themselves. This fifth edition of the seminal text describes a Court
which is no longer in its infancy; the Court is currently examining
situations that involve more than twenty countries in every continent
of the planet. This book considers the difficulties in the Court's
troubled relationship with Africa, the vagaries of the position of the
United States, and the challenges the Court may face as it confronts
conflicts around the world. It also reviews the history of
international criminal prosecution and the Rome Statute. Written by a
leading commentator, it is an authoritative and up-to-date
introduction to the legal issues involved in the creation and
operation of the Court.
