About this title

Synopsis

This commentary provides critical insight into the negotiating history that led to the adoption of the international elements of war crimes. It also presents existing jurisprudence relevant to the interpretation of the war crimes in the ICC Statute. It serves as a tool in the implementation of international humanitarian law in cases dealing with war crimes and offers practitioners (judges, prosecutors and lawyers) and academics critical information on the substance of the crimes.
