Opis

This study is a about the ambit of national criminal law. Can a country prosecute and punish a foreigner for a crime committed abroad against another foreigner? This book develops an international legal framework for the problem and examines in great detail the practice in fourteen countries including the US and leading European and Commonwealth jurisdictions.

Recenzje

Reydams provides an excellent historical overview of the development of the principle [of universal jurisdiction]. ...[his] book offers a clear counterpoint to those on both ends of the political spectrum who overstate and celebrate the extent of universal jurisdiction and those who overstate and fear it.
