This collection identifies and discusses problems and opportunities
for the theory and practice of international criminal justice. The
International Criminal Court and project of prosecuting
international atrocity crimes have faced multiple challenges and
critiques. In recent times, these have included changes in
technology, the conduct of armed conflict, the environment, and
geopolitics. The mostly emerging contributors to this collection
draw on diverse socio-legal research frameworks to discuss
proposals for the futures of international criminal justice. These
include addressing accountability gaps and under-examined or
emerging areas of criminality at, but also beyond, the
International Criminal Court, especially related to technology and
the environment. The book discusses the tensions between
universalism and localisation, as well as the regionalisation of
international criminal justice and how these approaches might adapt
to dynamic organisational, political and social structures, at the
ICC and beyond. The book will be of interest to students,
researchers and academics. It will also be a useful resource for
civil society representatives including justice advocates,
diplomats and other government officials and policy-makers.

How is international criminal law adapted across time and space?
Which actors are involved and how do those actors seek to prosecute
atrocity crimes? States in Southeast Asia exhibit a range of
adapted approaches toward prosecuting international crimes. By
examining engagement with international criminal justice especially
in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Myanmar, this book
offers a fresh and comprehensive approach to the study of
international criminal law in the region. It nuances categories of
the 'global' and 'local' and demonstrates how norms can be adapted
in multiple spatial and temporal directions beyond the
International Criminal Court. It proposes a shift in the focus of
those interested in international criminal justice toward
recognising the opportunities and expertise presented by existing
adaptive responses to international crimes. This book will appeal
to scholars, practitioners and advocates interested in
international criminal law, international relations, transitional
justice, civil society, and law in Southeast Asia.

Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence. The extent of
violence against women is currently hidden. How should violence be
measured? How should research and new ways of thinking about
violence improve its measurement? Could improved measurement change
policy? The book is a guide to how the measurement of violence can
be best achieved. It shows how to make femicide, rape, domestic
violence, and FGM visible in official statistics. It offers
practical guidance on definitions, indicators and coordination
mechanisms. It reflects on theoretical debates on 'what is gender',
'what is violence', and 'the concept of coercive control'. and
introduces the concept of 'gender saturated context'. Analysing the
socially constructed nature of statistics and the links between
knowledge and power, it sets new standards and guidelines to
influence the measurement of violence in the coming decades.

The amicus curiae - or friend of the court - is the main mechanism
for actors other than the parties, including civil society actors
and states, to participate directly in proceedings in international
criminal tribunals. Yet reliance on this mechanism raises a number
of significant questions concerning: the functions performed by
amici, which actors seek to intervene and why, and the influence of
amicus interventions on judicial outcomes. Ultimately, the amicus
curiae may have a significant impact on the fairness,
representativeness and legitimacy of the tribunals' proceedings and
decisions. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the
amicus curiae practice of the International Criminal Court and
other major international criminal tribunals and offers suggestions
for the role of the amicus curiae. In doing so, the authors develop
a framework to augment the potential contributions of amicus
participation in respect of the legitimacy of international
criminal tribunals and their decisions, while minimising
interference with the core judicial competence of the tribunal and
the right of the accused to a fair and expeditious trial.
In 2017 the global #MeToo movement burst through the conspiracy of
silence around women's experience of sexual abuse and violence.
Since then, other groups have found the courage to declare that
they too have experienced sexual abuse and are unafraid and
unashamed to let it be known. Now this ground-breaking book
provides a space for counsellors and psychotherapists - more often
the listeners - to tell their own stories, sometimes for the first
time. Each chapter is written by a counsellor, psychotherapist or
therapy client and followed up with an exploratory dialogue between
writer and peer. Together the contributions form a community of
#TherapistsToo voices, brought together in the hope that readers
within and beyond the counselling and psychotherapy realm will feel
less alone and more connected. This is a book for anyone wanting to
understand the ubiquity of sexual violence and sexual abuse. It's
about how to respond, support, raise awareness, campaign and be
part of creating a culture that says #TimesUp!
