"The ambitious aim of the work is to create a guiding framework for international criminal procedural law and practices in the future. As explained by the working groups, the overarching objective of the project is to assist the challenge of delivering fair but also effective trials". -- FOREWORD.
The International Criminal Court
The editor, former Executive Secretary for the UN Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court, gathers the work of 30 legal scholars and international lawyers from Africa, Europe, and the Americas to provide an account of the legislative history of the Elements of Crimes and the Rules of Procedure and Evidence. Sections address the elements of crimes, from the makings of the elements and general principles of criminal law to the specific elements of genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. Rules of procedure and evidence are addressed in 14 chapters, including an elaboration of the rules themselves, discussion of jurisdiction and admissibility, evidence, investigation and prosecution, trial procedures, penalties, international cooperation and judicial assistance, and enforcement. The final section focuses on NGO's contribution to the making of the Elements and Rules. Includes a short introduction by Kofi Annan, Secretary-General of the UN. c. Book News Inc.
The Founders
Focuses on the four individuals who created the world's first international tribunals and how they sought justice for millions of victims.
The Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court
The book provides a holistic examination of the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The main focus is placed on the three pillars which form the ICC’s foundation pursuant to the Rome Statute: the preconditions to the exercise of its jurisdiction (Article 12 Rome Statute) the substantive competence, i.e. the core crimes (Article 5-8bis Rome Statute, i.e. genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, crime of aggression) the principle of complementarity (Article 17§1 (a) Rome Statute) The latter governs the ICC's ‘ultimate jurisdiction’, since it is not merely sufficient for a crime to be within the Court's jurisdiction (according to the substantive, geographical, personal and temporal jurisdictional criteria), but the State Party must also be unwilling or unable genuinely to carry out the investigation or prosecution. Finally yet importantly, the main ‘negative preconditions’ for the Court’s jurisdiction, i.e. immunities (Article 27 Rome Statute) and exceptions via Security Council referrals are thoroughly examined.The book is an excellent resource for scholars as well as practitioners and notably contributes to the existing literature.

The Oxford Companion to International Criminal Justice
The move to end impunity for human rights atrocities has seen the creation of international and hybrid tribunals and increased prosecutions in domestic courts. The Oxford Companion to International Criminal Justice is the first major reference work to provide a complete overview of this emerging field. Its nearly 1100 pages are divided into three sections. In the first part, 21 essays by leading thinkers offer a comprehensive survey of issues and debates surrounding international humanitarian law, international criminal law, and their enforcement. The second part is arranged alphabetically, containing 320 entries on doctrines, procedures, institutions and personalities. The final part contains over 400 case summaries on different trials from international and domestic courts dealing with war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, torture, and terrorism. With analysis and commentary on every aspect of international criminal justice, this Companion is designed to be the first port of call for scholars and practitioners interested in current developments in international justice.
