Download or read book Commentary on the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court written by Otto Triffterer and published by Hart Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 1954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 1, 2008, the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) entered into force, enabling the ICC - as laid down in the Preamble to the Statute - to affirm "that the most serious crimes of concern to the international community as a whole must not go unpunished and that their effective prosecution must be ensured by taking measures at national level and by enhancing international cooperation." In this second edition commentary, Otto Triffterer and a number of eminent legal practitioners and scholars in the field of international criminal law give a detailed article-by-article analysis of both the Statute as well as the "Elements of Crime" and the "Rules of Procedure and Evidence," adopted by the Assembly of States Parties in 2002, and the "Regulations of the Court," adopted by the Judges of the ICC in 2004. This substantially revised and significantly amended version considers the jurisprudence of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR); other international, "semi-international," or national courts; and the relevant literature since the publication of the first edition in 1999. This book has been selected in 2009 to receive the prestigious ASIL Certificate of Merit for High Technical Craftsmanship and Utility to Practicing Lawyers and Scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2010 Kampala Amendments to the Rome Statute empowered the International Criminal Court to prosecute the 'supreme crime' under international law: the crime of aggression. This landmark commentary provides the first analysis of the history, theory, legal interpretation and future of the crime of aggression. As well as explaining the positions of the main actors in the negotiations, the authoritative team of leading scholars and practitioners set out exactly how countries have themselves criminalized illegal war-making in domestic law and practice. In light of the anticipated activation of the Court's jurisdiction over this crime in 2017, this work offers, over two volumes, a comprehensive legal analysis of how to understand the material and mental elements of the crime of aggression as defined at Kampala. Alongside The Travaux Préparatoires of the Crime of Aggression (Cambridge, 2011), this commentary provides the definitive resource for anyone concerned with the illegal use of force.

Download or read book The International Criminal Court written by Young Sok Kim and published by . This book was released on 2010-04 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to analyze and evaluate the Statute of the International Criminal Court which was newly created at the United Nations Diplomatic Conference in Rome, Italy on 17 July 1998 (The Rome Conference or the Conference). The book addresses a host of difficult questions and common questions the new permanent International Criminal Court (The ICC or The Court) can raise and possible answers to those questions. This book also records the legislative histories of each article of the ICC Statute and evaluates legal ramifications of the Statute. Even though the United States Government has argued the Rome Statute violates the law of treaties and is not consistent with international law, the author tries to prove that the Rome Statute does not violate the law of treaties and is consistent with international law. The Rome Statute is invaluable in that it codifies the present international law and international criminal law and procedure. The Statute, which was supported by 120 states in the world, summarize the present treaty law, customary international law and general principles of law, even though some contents of the Statute were watered down by some states.The author participated in the process for the adoption of the Rome Statute as a member of the Korean Delegation to the Rome Diplomatic Conference. Korea submitted a very important proposal on the jurisdiction of the Court, which the author was involved in, and tried to bridge the gaps between the U.S position and various other states' positions. On the basis of his own reservations and experiences at the Rome Conference, the author thinks the Rome Statute has delicate balances among various interests of countries and will be a great weapon for the World to fight with against the most heinous international crimes: genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression.Therefore, this book is an insider's observation and a legislative history of the Rome Statute. However, the views appearing in this book are not those of the Korean Government, but solely those of the author as an international law scholar and a participant in the Rome Conference.Contents: 1. Introduction; 2. Commentary on articles of the Rome statute: Part 1: Establishment of the Court; Part 2: Jurisdiction, admissibility and applicable law; Part 3: General principles of criminal law; Part 4: Composition and administration of the court; Part 5: Investigation and prosecution; Part 6: The trial; Part 7: Penalties; Part 8: Appeal and revision; Part 9: International cooperation and judicial assistance; Part 10: Enforcement; Part 11: Assembly of states parties; Part 12: Financing; Part 13: Final clausesDr. Young Sok Kim has a B.A. (Law) and M.A. (Law) from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea and an LL.M and J.S.D.

Download or read book Justice in Conflict written by Mark Kersten and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when the international community simultaneously pursues peace and justice in response to ongoing conflicts? What are the effects of interventions by the International Criminal Court (ICC) on the wars in which the institution intervenes? Is holding perpetrators of mass atrocities accountable a help or hindrance to conflict resolution? This book offers an in-depth examination of the effects of interventions by the ICC on peace, justice and conflict processes. The 'peace versus justice' debate, wherein it is argued that the ICC has either positive or negative effects on 'peace', has spawned in response to the Court's propensity to intervene in conflicts as they still rage. This book is a response to, and a critical engagement with, this debate. Building on theoretical and analytical insights from the fields of conflict and peace studies, conflict resolution, and negotiation theory, the book develops a novel analytical framework to study the Court's effects on peace, justice, and conflict processes. This framework is applied to two cases: Libya and northern Uganda. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the core of the book examines the empirical effects of the ICC on each case. The book also examines why the ICC has the effects that it does, delineating the relationship between the interests of states that refer situations to the Court and the ICC's institutional interests, arguing that the negotiation of these interests determines which side of a conflict the ICC targets and thus its effects on peace, justice, and conflict processes. While the effects of the ICC's interventions are ultimately and inevitably mixed, the book makes a unique contribution to the empirical record on ICC interventions and presents a novel and sophisticated means of studying, analyzing, and understanding the effects of the Court's interventions in Libya, northern Uganda - and beyond.
Download or read book UN Security Council Referrals to the International Criminal Court written by Alexandre Skander Galand and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a unique critical analysis of the legal nature, effects and limits of UN Security Council referrals to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Alexandre Skander Galand provides, for the first time, a full picture of two competing understandings of the nature of the Security Council referrals to the ICC, and their respective normative interplay with legal barriers to the exercise of universal prescriptive and adjudicative jurisdiction. The book shows that the application of the Rome Statute through a Security Council referral is inherently limited by the UN Charter as well as the Rome Statute, and can conflict with other branches of international law, including international human rights law, the law on immunities and the law of treaties. Hence, it spells out a conception of the nature and effects of Security Council referrals that responds to these limits and, in turn, informs the reader on the nature of the ICC itself.
