Opis

This is the first anthology to bring together legal and philosophical theorists to examine the normative and conceptual foundations of international criminal law.

Recenzje

'International Criminal Law and Philosophy is a thought-provoking and valuable collection of essays, all of which are intended to examine both the conceptual and normative grounding of international criminal law, which is supposedly individual responsibility for mass atrocities … Readers interested in legal theory generally or challenges to international criminal law specifically would have the most to gain from this material …' Dr Edwin Bikundo, Current Issues in Criminal Justice
