Description

International Criminal Law in a Nutshell 3rd Edition David P. Stewart ISBN 9798317700119

This Nutshell provides a clear and accessible introduction to international criminal law, ideal for students taking their first course in the subject as well as practitioners with little or no prior experience. It begins with a concise history of international criminal law—from its early origins through the Nuremberg Trials to the ad hoc tribunals for the Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda—before outlining core principles of international accountability, including the doctrine of legality, and key concepts of international criminal jurisdiction, such as universal jurisdiction.

Several chapters focus on the International Criminal Court, covering its substantive jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression, along with modes of liability and available defenses. Other chapters explore extradition and its alternatives, such as rendition, and mutual legal assistance, detailing how evidence is obtained abroad for use in criminal cases.

The Nutshell also addresses major transnational crimes, including terrorism, corruption, trafficking, and organized crime, presenting the material in a way that does not require prior knowledge of international law. This makes it a practical, approachable guide for both newcomers to the field and those seeking a concise overview of the structure, rules, and procedures governing international criminal accountability.
