This book deals with sentencing in international criminal law,
focusing on the approach of the UN ad hoc Tribunals for the former
Yugoslavia (ICTY) and Rwanda (ICTR). In contrast to sentencing in
domestic jurisdictions, and in spite of its growing importance,
sentencing law is a part of international criminal law that is
still 'under construction' and is unregulated in many aspects.
International sentencing law and practice is not yet defined by
exact norms and principles and as yet there is no body of
international principles concerning the determination of sentence,
notwithstanding the huge volume of sentencing research and the
extensive modern debate about sentencing principles. Moreover
international judges receive very little guidance in sentencing
matters: this contributes to inconsistencies and may increase the
risk that similar cases will be sentenced in different ways. One
purpose of this book is to investigate and evaluate the process of
international sentencing, especially as interpreted by the ICTY and
the ICTR, and to suggest a more comprehensive and coherent system
of guiding principles, which will foster the development of a law
of sentencing for international criminal justice. The book
discusses the law and jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals, and
also presents an empirical analysis of influential factors and
other data from ICTY and ICTR sentencing practice, thus offering
quantitative support for the doctrinal analysis. This publication
is one of the first to be entirely devoted to the process of
sentencing in international criminal justice. The book will thus be
of great interest to practitioners, academics and students of the
subject.
