About the Book

This text asks how far the world has come in creating a system of international criminal law. As global society grows ever more interdependent, international crime is increasingly regarded as a serious threat. The international community needs to produce more comprehensive solutions to prevent, punish and deter crimes under international law. In this book, the author focuses on recent developments in codification and implementation to evaluate prospects for the emergence of a unified system of international criminal law, characterized by a broad and coherent material coverage, as well as fair and effective institutional implementation. He describes the contours of international criminal law, exploring the history, content and legal status of the relevant norms against the background of the work of the International Law Commission. He then surveys patterns in existing means of implementation at both the inter-state and international levels, examining key issues relating to the acquisition of custody over the alleged offender, the role of the extradition system and the use of international criminal tribunals.

Review :
'...[t]he author provides incisive analyses and context for the discussion of important developments in international criminal law, including perspectives from smaller states. [...] This book will provide a useful guide for policymakers and academicians of international law and international relations. The helpful mix of substantive legal discussions with policy and political realities make the book especially useful.' American Journal of International Law, 1999. '[I] think of his book as a very inspiring study, both for my personal interest and professionally as a member of the Dutch delegation to the Preparatory Committee for the Establishment of the ICC.' J.A.C. Bevers, European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, 9:2.
