over the last decade, with the creation of ad hoc tribunals in the
former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the establishment of a permanent
International Criminal Court. This book provides a timely and

international criminal law. The Handbook features new, specially
commissioned papers by a range of international and leading experts
in the field. It contains reflections on the theoretical aspects
and contemporary debates in international criminal law. The book is
split into four parts for ease of reference: The Historical and
Institutional Framework - Sets international criminal law firmly in
context with individual chapters on the important developments and
key institutions which have been established. The Crimes -
Identifies and analyses international crimes, including a chapter
on aggression. The Practice of International Tribunals - Focuses on
topics relating to the practice and procedure of international
criminal law. Key Issues in International Criminal Law - Goes on to
explore issues of importance such as universal jurisdiction,
amnesties and international criminal law and human rights.
Providing easy access to up-to-date and authoritative articles
covering all key aspects of international criminal law, this book

practitioners working in the field.
