The aim of this book is to assess recent developments in
international law seeking to bring an end to impunity by bringing
to justice those accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The book was originally conceived while the editors were engaged,
in different capacities, in proceedings relating to the detention
of Senator Pinochet in London. The vigorous public debate that
attended that case - and related developments in international
criminal justice, such as the creation of the International
Criminal Court and the trial of former President Milosevic -
demonstrate the close connections between the law and wider
political or moral questions. In the field of international
criminal justice there appeared, therefore, a clear need to
distinguish legal from essentially political issues - promoting the
application of the law in an impartial and apolitical manner -
while at the same time enabling each to legitimately inform the
development of the other. The essays in this volume, written by
internationally recognised legal experts: scholars, practitioners,
judges - explore a wide range of subjects, including immunities,
justice in international and mixed courts, justice in national
courts, and in a particularly practical section, perspectives
offered by experienced practitioners in the field. "This is a
welcome collection of papers on criminal justice both at the
international and the national level...a book which fills many gaps
and adds considerable value by discussing wider policy and moral
issues; it is to be recommended to all who are interested in the
development of international criminal justice." Elizabeth
Wilmshurst, International Affairs
