International criminal law has witnessed a rapid rise after the end
of the Cold War. The United Nations refers to the birth of a new
'age of accountability', but certain historical objections, such as
selectivity or victor's justice, have never fully gone away, and
many of the justice dimensions of international criminal law remain
unexplored. Various critiques have emerged in socio-legal
scholarship or globalization discourse, revealing that there is a
stark discrepancy between reality and expectation. Linking
discussion of legal theories, case-law and practice to scholarship
and opinion, A Critical Introduction to International Criminal Law
explores these critiques through five main themes at the heart of
contemporary dilemmas: * The shifting contours of criminality and
international crimes * The tension between individual and
collective responsibility * The challenges of domestic,
international, hybrid and regional justice institutions * The
foundations of justice procedures * Approaches towards punishment
and reparation Suitable for students, academics and professionals
from multiple fields wishing to understand contemporary theories,
practices and critiques of international criminal law. This title
is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
