These will not only be necessary for the future work of the ICC in interpreting the crimes provisions, but also for national courts, which have primary responsibility in the prosecution of international crimes under the Rome Statute.

It contains an analysis of existing case law related to each war crime in the Statute.

The roots of organized crime penetrate deep into the normal operations of society, its economic and financial patterns, sometimes also its bureaucracy and ideological apparatuses.

Marja Lehto maps in this work the way in which international legal regulation, particular...
