Content:
Provides a critical and contextual introduction to the fundamentals of international criminal law. it goes beyond a doctrinal analysis focused on the practice of itnernational tribunals to draw on a variety of perspectives, capturing the complex processes of internationalization that criminal law has experienced over the past few decades. The book considers international law in context and seeks to account for the political and cultural factors that have influenced - and that continue to influence - this still-emerging body of law. Considering the substance, procedures, objectives, justification and impacts of international criminal law, it address such topics as: the history of itnernational criminal law; the subjects of international criminal law; transitional justice and international criminal justice; genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression; sexual and gender-based crimes; international and hybrid criminal tribunals; sentencing under international criminal law; and the role of victims in international criminal law
