Law, Roy S. Lee.
The International Criminal Court has been operational since mid-2003, following the entry into force of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court on 1 July 2002. The Rome Statute is among the most complex international treaties, a combination of public international law, international humanitarian law and criminal law, both international and domestic. The Commentary provides an article-by-article analysis of the Statute. Each of the 128 articles is presented accompanied by a bibliography of academic literature relevant to that provision, an overview of the drafting history of the provision and an analysis of the text. The analytical portion of each chapter draws upon relevant case law from the Court itself, as well as from other international and national criminal tribunals, academic commentary, and the related instruments such as the Elements of Crimes, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the Relationship Agreement with the United Nations. Written by a single author, the Commentary avoids duplication and inconsistency, providing a comprehensive presentation to assist those who must understand, interpret and apply the complex provisions of the Rome Statute

A highly relevant and timely work focusing on the core international crimes and their interaction with the forms of responsibility.
This book examines the importance of international criminal law in promoting and defending human rights as well as its relationship with law and international politics. It highlights criminal cases at the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda, the International Criminal Court, and the International Crimes Tribunal of Bangladesh. The book considers human rights approaches to crimes from a theoretical and practical perspective, analyses various crimes under international law, and examines the application, implementation and enforcement of international criminal law. This book will serve as an important reference for students, teachers, scholars and lawyers specialising in international human rights, international criminal law and international humanitarian law.
The book shows how moral theory can challenge and improve international criminal law and how extreme cases can challenge and improve mainstream theory.
This informative text analyses the deficiencies of the existing counter-terrorism legal framework and examines whether the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) could provide an alternative and viable solution. The major objective of the work is to assess whether acts usually referred to as 'terrorism' in the common language, present the elements of war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and aggression, thereby falling within the jurisdiction of the ICC. Amongst the highlights are a comparison between the definitions provided by existing international law and the recently adopted ICC Statute; an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the principal international anti-terrorism conventions; and whether so-called acts of terrorism may constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and aggression, both under traditional international law and the ICC Statute.
