Law and Practice of the International Criminal Court

by Carsten Stahn

The International Criminal Court is a controversial and important body within international law and is significantly growing in importance, particularly as other international criminal tribunals close down. After a decade of Court practice, this book takes stock of the activities of the International Criminal Court, identifying the key issues in need of potential reform. It provides a systematic and in-depth thematic account of the law and practice of the Court, including its changing context, the challenges it faces, and its overall contribution to international criminal law.
