Proceedings »in Absentia« in Comparative and International Criminal Law

The thesis finds a normative approach for trial ›in absentia‹ at International Criminal Tribunals by applying classical sources of international criminal law and analysing procedural theory as well as fundamental rights. Through a critical analysis of concepts presented as models for trial ›in absentia‹ it introduces a new concept for trials ›in absentia‹ which considers both the defendant's right and duty to be present.

The book thereby establishes a connection between legal theory, international criminal procedural law, international human rights law and comparative law on the one hand and - considering the high number of accused of International Criminal ...

The Principle of Legality in International and Comparative Criminal Law

This book fills a major gap in the scholarly literature concerning international criminal law, comparative criminal law, and human rights law. The principle of legality (non-retroactivity of crimes and punishments and related doctrines) is fundamental to criminal law and human rights law. Yet this is the first book-length study of the status of legality in international law - in international criminal law, international human rights law, and international humanitarian law. This is also the first book to survey legality/non-retroactivity in all national constitutions, developing the patterns of implementation of legality in the various legal systems (e.g., Common Law, Civil Law, Islamic Law, Asian Law) around the world. This is a necessary book for any scholar, practitioner, and library in the area of international, criminal, comparative, human rights, or international humanitarian law.

From Cognition to Criminality

International Criminal Law Practitioner Library: Volume 2, Elements of Crimes under International Law

Volume II of the International Criminal Law Practitioner Library series focuses on the core categories of international crimes: crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. The authors present a comprehensive and critical review of the law on the elements of these crimes and their underlying offences, and examine how they interact with the forms of responsibility discussed in Volume I. They also consider the effect of the focus in early ICTY and ICTR proceedings on relatively low-level accused for the development of legal definitions that are sometimes ill-suited for leadership cases, where the accused had little or no physical involvement in the crimes. The book's main focus is the jurisprudence of the ad hoc Tribunals, but the approaches of the ICC and the various hybrid tribunals are also given significant attention. The relevant jurisprudence up to 1 December 2007 has been surveyed, making this a highly useful and timely work.

International Criminal Law

Cases and Materials

International Criminal Law provides a set of teaching materials furnishing students with a grounding in the transnational issues likely to arise in federal criminal cases, and also in the law produced as a consequence of international efforts to impose criminal responsibility on the perpetrators of human rights atrocities through global mechanisms, such as the International Criminal Court. International Criminal Law offers, for teaching purposes, a collection of cases (mainly domestic) and other materials (both domestic and international), together with notes and questions about those cases and materials. The fifth edition begins with an examination of the scope of international criminal law, including consideration of the various sources of this law. Students are then introduced to important international criminal law doctrines and concepts before examining the various principles of jurisdiction that form the basis for the application of domestic and international law. Following these introductory materials, International Criminal Law focusses on a crafted selection of criminal enforcement areas with both domestic and international applications, including bribery, antitrust and securities regulation, export controls, computer crimes, narcotics and money laundering, piracy, terrorism, torture, and human trafficking. In examining these areas of enforcement, the book considers the domestic statutory landscape, the extraterritorial application of domestic statutes, and, where appropriate, the manner in which international laws, conventions, and norms address the topics from a global perspective. In examining bribery, for example, the chapter considers both the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and international equivalents and agreements in this space, such as the U.K. Bribery Act and OECD Convention. International Criminal Law then immerses students in procedural law and policy related to international criminal law. This portion of the book considers the extraterritorial application of the U.S. Constitution, immunities from jurisdiction, international evidence gathering procedures, extradition, abduction, deportation, prisoner transfer, post-conviction issues, and international human rights covenants and conventions and their impact on criminal procedure. Finally, International Criminal Law introduces students to the four crimes of most concern to the international community--Aggression, Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes. The book also examines the various courts and mechanisms used to bring those accused of these atrocities to justice, beginning with the Nuremberg and Tokyo precedents. Examination of these early forms of international tribunal are followed by materials examining more recent courts and mechanisms, including the International Criminal Court, Ad Hoc tribunals, hybrid tribunals and other creative variations. The new fifth edition includes important updates in the field, along with an expanded discussion of human trafficking and a new dedicated chapter on organized crime.
