This edited volume provides, for the first time, a comprehensive
account of theoretical approaches to international punishment. Its
main objective is to contribute to the development of a consistent
and robust theory of international criminal punishment. For this
purpose, the authors - renowned scholars in the fields of criminal
law, international criminal law, and philosophy of law, as well as
practitioners working at different international criminal courts
and tribunals - address the question of meaning and purpose of
punishment in international law from various perspectives. The
volume fleshes out the predominant dimensions of a theory of
international punishment and highlights the differences between
'ordinary' (domestic) crime and international crimes and their
respective enforcement. At the same time, throughout the volume a
major focus is on the practical consequences of the different
theoretical approaches, in particular for the activities of the
International Criminal Court.
The move to end impunity for human rights atrocities has seen the
creation of international and hybrid tribunals and increased
prosecutions in domestic courts. The Oxford Companion to
International Criminal Justice is the first major reference work to
provide a complete overview of this emerging field. Its nearly 1100
pages are divided into three sections. In the first part, 21 essays
by leading thinkers offer a comprehensive survey of issues and
debates surrounding international humanitarian law, international
criminal law, and their enforcement. The second part is arranged
alphabetically, containing 320 entries on doctrines, procedures,
institutions and personalities. The final part contains over 400
case summaries on different trials from international and domestic
courts dealing with war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide,
torture, and terrorism. With analysis and commentary on every
aspect of international criminal justice, this Companion is
designed to be the first port of call for scholars and
practitioners interested in current developments in international
justice.
