The International Criminal Court and the Responsibility to Protect
This book examines the parallel development and interaction between the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP), assessing this relationship over time and through case studies of Darfur, Libya, and Syria. The similarities and connections between the doctrine and the Court have been highlighted by UN bodies, the organs of the Court, and scholars, yet their relationship and common impact on international law have been less explored. This book fills this gap in presenting an overview of how the development of RtoP and the ICC affect various branches of international law.

Humanness as a Protected Legal Interest of Crimes against Humanity
Central to this book is the concept of humanity in international law. It traces the evolution of that concept within international law, studies the existing theories of crimes against humanity, and lays out its own theory based on an inclusive view of “humanity”. Crimes against humanity are core crimes under international law; their modern definition is found in the Rome Statute. However, their protective scope remains unclear, with the exact meaning of “humanity” left undefined in law. The proposed theory argues that “humanity” should be understood as “humanness” and crimes against humanity should be criminalised because humanness constitutes these crimes’ valid protected ...

Finally, in the section on case studies (Part VI), lessons learnt from a number of conflict situations are discussed. Written by an international team of experts representing all the m...
A Common Theory of Law
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of legal theory tailored specifically to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by post-Soviet states. By presenting an innovative framework known as the “common theory of law”, it ventures beyond the traditional statist and positivist perspectives that have long dominated legal education in the region. Instead, it views law as a dynamic societal phenomenon and a unifying force that transcends state-centric boundaries. Grounded in a pluralistic approach, the book integrates insights from diverse legal traditions, including natural law, psychological theories, and libertarian perspectives. It systematically examines foundational concepts...
