*Winner of the European Award for Investigative And Judicial
Journalism 2021* *Winner of the Premio Alessandro Leogrande Award
for Investigative Journalism 2022* 'I want to live in a society
where secret power is accountable to the law and to public opinion
for its atrocities, where it is the war criminals who go to jail,
not those who have the conscience and courage to expose them.' It
is 2008, and Stefania Maurizi, an investigative journalist with a
growing interest in cryptography, starts looking into the
little-known organisation WikiLeaks. Through hushed meetings,
encrypted files and explosive documents, what she discovers sets
her on a life-long journey that takes her deep into the realm of
secret power. Working closely with WikiLeaks' founder Julian
Assange and his organisation for her newspaper, Maurizi has spent
over a decade investigating state criminality protected by thick
layers of secrecy, while also embarking on a solitary trench
warfare to unearth the facts underpinning the cruel persecution of
Assange and WikiLeaks. With complex and disturbing insights,
Maurizi's tireless journalism exposes atrocities, the shameful
treatment of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, on up to the
present persecution of WikiLeaks: a terrifying web of impunity and
cover-ups. At the heart of the book is the brutality of secret
power and the unbearable price paid by Julian Assange, WikiLeaks
and truthtellers.

This pioneering book explores the intersections of law and culture
at the International Criminal Court (ICC), offering insights into
how notions of culture affect the Court's legal foundations,
functioning and legitimacy, both in theory and in practice. Leading
scholars and legal practitioners take a multidisciplinary approach
to challenge the view that international law is not limited or
bound by a particular culture, arguing instead that law and culture
are intertwined. Analysing how culture influences views of the law,
the facts to which it applies, and the fairness of the outcome, the
contributors consider the implications of culture and law for the
ICC and its international reach. Chapters discuss important
intersections of law and culture, from religion and politics to the
definition of international crimes and their interpretation by
judges. Highlighting the inherent but often overlooked role of
'culture' at the ICC, the book puts forward recommendations to aid
the Court s future considerations. This book is a valuable resource
for academics and students in a variety of fields including law,
criminology, anthropology, international relations and political
science. Its practical focus is also beneficial for legal
practitioners and civil society organisations working in
international criminal justice.
