Produktbeschreibung

This collection of essays is the first dedicated to the topic of critical approaches to international criminal law. Individual criminal accountability is firmly entrenched in both international law and the international consciousness as a necessary mechanism of responsibility. This field has recently experienced a significant surge in attention through scholarship, institutions and public debate, so a more considered interrogation this field is overdue. Including papers from an international range of experts in this area, this book critically examines the central tenets, the limitations and complicities of international criminal law.

Rezensionen

"This is a critical book. Not only is it critical of international criminal law; it is also critical to appreciating the rich diversity that exists in critical approaches to international criminal law. Editor Christine Schwöbel has managed to put together provocative pieces by those who are pushing the boundaries of critical approaches to international criminal law. This book leaves the field with questions that it can no longer ignore."

- Dr Sarah Nouwen, Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of Cambridge, UK.

"This book not only acts as a resource but also as a critical tool for academics and students researching in the area of international criminal law. It will also challenge practitioners to consider the representative implications of their work."
