International criminal law has witnessed a rapid rise after the end of the Cold War. The United Nations refers to the birth of a new 'age of accountability', but certain historical objections, such as selectivity or victor's justice, have never fully gone away, and many of the justice dimensions of international criminal law remain unexplored. Various critiques have emerged in socio-legal scholarship or globalization discourse, revealing that there is a stark discrepancy between reality and expectation. Linking discussion of legal theories, case-law and practice to scholarship and opinion, A Critical Introduction to International Criminal Law explores these critiques through five main themes at the heart of contemporary dilemmas:The shifting contours of criminality and international crimesThe tension between individual and collective responsibilityThe challenges of domestic, international, hybrid and regional justice institutionsThe foundations of justice proceduresApproaches towards punishment and reparationSuitable for students, academics and professionals from multiple fields wishing to understand contemporary theories, practices and critiques of international criminal law. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

A Critical Introduction to International Criminal Law

In his book Ch. Browning reconstructs the “final solution of the Jewish question” at Lublin district in 1942. Grounding his study on the materials from Federal Central Office for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes and Federal Archives set up in Koblenz, the author undertakes a socio-psychological analysis of the personalities and actions of the policemen from Reserve Police Battalion 101 of German Order Police.

Importance of Effective Investigation of Sexual Violence and Gender-Based Crimes at the International Criminal Court

The Gravity Threshold of the International Criminal Court

Under the Rome Statute establishing the International Criminal Court (ICC), victims of the world’s most serious crimes were given unprecedented rights to participate in proceedings before the Court. Nearly a decade later, a similar scheme was established to allow victims to participate in proceedings before the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), a court created to prosecute atrocities committed by Khmer Rouge leaders. Although there are some differences in how the schemes work at each of these tribunals, both allow victims to participate in criminal proceedings independent of their role as witnesses. Advocates of victim participation had high expectations that these new schemes would allow victims to tell their story in a way they were unable to do as victim-witnesses before the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslav and Rwanda, where victims’ voices were often unheard or only partially heard because of the need to narrowly define what happened to them in line with the rules of evidence and the legal definition of the crimes with which the accused were charged. This paper explores whether this novel victim participation scheme, as implemented by the ICC and ECCC thus far, has actually allowed for greater recognition of victims’ voices and experiences than was possible in proceedings before their predecessor tribunals. The paper begins with a brief discussion of the significance of “visibility” as a feminist goal. From there, it describes the victim participation schemes at the ICC and ECCC and how victim participants, particularly survivors of gender-based violence, have fared under these schemes. Although the ICC and ECCC have only heard a limited number of cases, the history of participation before these tribunals thus far suggests that victim participants face some of the very same limitations victim-witnesses encountered at the ad hoc tribunals, particularly in cases against senior leaders and those most responsible for serious international crimes, the focus of ICC and ECCC prosecutions today. In the final section, the paper considers the implications of this conclusion on the feminist goal of visibility and, more generally, on the larger question of whether alternatives to direct participation in proceedings might be as, if not better, suited to achieve this goal.

Victim Participation at the International Criminal Court and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia: A Feminist Project?

Victim Participation at the International Criminal Court and the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia: A Feminist Project

This article discusses aspects of the origin and development of jurisprudence relating to the prosecution of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in the context of international criminal law. It examines a selection of archival material from the United Nations War Crimes Commission (UNWCC) and other bodies connected to it, noting that the UNWCC was the first multinational criminal law organization to explicitly endorse SGBV crimes as international crimes. UNWCC-supported trials in both Europe and Asia suggest that rape committed in the context of armed conflict or situations of mass violence was punishable as a serious crime nearly 70 years ago. Moreover, many of the theories of liability used by contemporary tribunals today were used in the UNWCC-supported cases. The authors maintain that the UNWCC archives are not only valuable for tribunals prosecuting conflict-related SGBV cases today, but the jurisprudence emerging from UNWCC-supported cases may also be quite relevant to contemporary policy debates.
