This book examines international criminal law from a normative
perspective and lays out how responsible agents, individuals and
the collectives they comprise, ought to be held accountable to the
world for the commission of atrocity. The author provides criteria
for determining the kinds of actions that should be addressed
through international criminal law. Additionally, it asks, and
answers, how individual responsibility can be determined in the
context of collectively perpetrated political crimes and whether an
international criminal justice system can claim universality in a
culturally plural world. The book also examines the function of
international criminal law and finally considers how the goals and
purposes of international law can best be institutionally
supported.
This book is of particular interest to a multidisciplinary
academic audience in political science, philosophy, and law,
however the book is written in clear jargon-free prose that is
intended to render the arguments accessible to the non-specialist
reader interested in global justice, human rights and international
criminal law.
