After the Cold War, international criminal law has experienced a remarkable surge in popularity. The United Nations has heralded a new era of accountability, but historical concerns such as selectivity or victor's justice have persisted and many aspects of international criminal law's justice dimensions remain unexplored. In socio-legal scholarship and globalization discourse, various critiques have surfaced, revealing a significant gap between reality and expectations.
A Critical Introduction to International Criminal Law delves into these critiques through five central themes that are at the forefront of contemporary dilemmas:
The evolving contours of criminality and international crimes: This theme examines how the definition of crimes and the criteria for their classification have changed over time, particularly in response to emerging threats and challenges.
The tension between individual and collective responsibility: This theme explores the balance between holding individuals accountable for their actions and addressing the broader societal and political contexts that contribute to crimes.
The challenges of domestic, international, hybrid, and regional justice institutions: This theme examines the institutions responsible for enforcing international criminal law, including their effectiveness, independence, and accountability.
The foundations of justice procedures: This theme explores the legal principles and procedures that govern international criminal trials and investigations, including the rights of the accused, the burden of proof, and the role of evidence.
Approaches towards punishment and reparation: This theme examines the various approaches to punishing individuals and communities for international crimes, including deterrence, rehabilitation, and restorative justice.
Suitable for students, academics, and professionals from diverse fields interested in understanding contemporary theories, practices, and critiques of international criminal law, this title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
