Description
Book SynopsisInternational Criminal Law provides a comprehensive overview of an increasingly integral part of public international law. It complements the usual accounts of the substantive law of those international crimes tried to date before international criminal courts and of the institutional law of those courts with in-depth analyses of fundamental formal juridical concepts such as an ''international crime'' and an ''international criminal court''; with detailed examinations of the many international crimes provided for by way of multilateral treaty and of the attendant obligations and rights of states parties; and with sustained attention to the implementation of international criminal law at the national level. Direct, concise, and precise, International Criminal Law should prove a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners of the discipline of international criminal law.
Trade ReviewO'Keefe's book is an excellent addition to the literature available on the subject... It provides essential breadth of coverage for those new to this field of law and excellent analysis of substantive law and principle to support both practitioners and students. * Mark Mackarel, Edinburgh Law Review *
