Textbook in PDF format The book is divided into three Sections. Section I consists of 21 brief essays on the main problems of international criminal law. These essays are not arranged in alphabetical order, but in a systematic and logical sequence. They intend to put the whole cluster of problems relating to international criminal justice into a general perspective, and also to point to both the major areas of progress and the pitfalls of this body of law. Section 2 consists of 320 entries, arranged in alphabetical order, covering: 1) the major legal issues arising in international criminal law as well as in national and international trials (categories of crime, mens rea, modes of responsibility, defences, and so on); 2) international institutions that have dealt, or are dealing, with criminal cases at the international level; 3) mechanisms intended to constitute an alternative to criminal justice (truth and reconciliation commissions, gacaca courts, and others); 4) brief biographies of a few outstanding personalities involved in Nuremberg, Tokyo, the ICTY and the ICTR (on obvious grounds we have preferred only to mention those who have passed away). Section 3, which is also arranged in alphabetical order and comprises 420 entries, deals with a selection of all the major cases (national and international) concerning war crimes, crimes against humanity, aggression, genocide, and torture. In short, these cases have been selected on these criteria: 1) primary consideration was given to serious breaches of ‘core crimes’ at the level of courts international as well as national, although this had to be extended in order to cover some borderline cases; 2) in most instances, entries have been written only where judgments have already been delivered, although in a few cases entries deal with ongoing proceedings where the specific issue at hand remains unresolved. Th e cut-off date (especially with regard to the ICTY, the ICTR, the ICC and the Special Court for Sierra Leone) was taken to be April 2008. I think this is the first time many of these judicial proceedings concerning international crimes have been surveyed and discussed, if only briefly. This, in itself, should be a major merit of the book, the more so because many of these cases are only available in languages other than English
