This anthology brings together legal and philosophical theorists to examine the normative and conceptual foundations of international criminal law. In particular, through these essays the international group of authors addresses questions of state sovereignty; of groups, rather than individuals, as perpetrators and victims of international crimes; of international criminal law and the promotion of human rights and social justice; and of what comes after international criminal prosecutions, namely, punishment and reconciliation. International criminal law is still an emerging field, and as it continues to develop, the elucidation of clear, consistent theoretical groundings for its practices will be crucial. The questions raised and issues addressed by the essays in this volume will aid in this important endeavor.

More and more, international criminal law is becoming a fact of day-to-day life in an ever-globalizing village. Legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors, defence attorneys and civil servants in ministries are increasingly confronted with issues of international criminal law. The jurisprudence of the ad hoc international tribunals (The Hague, Arusha) has intensified academic interest in the field and is changing traditional atti-tudes towards the law. National courts have to address difficult questions of interna-tional criminal law. Norms of international criminal law have gradually become the stan-dard by which behaviour of governments and individuals is assessed on the interna-tional scene. In the process, the general public has become increasingly aware of the existence of international criminal law. 11/9 and the war in Iraq have undoubtedly con-tributed to this awareness. In recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the number of instruments in the field of international criminal law. On the post 11/9 international scene, there has been a dramatic increase in the conventions dealing with terrorism. In Europe, a multi-tude of new instruments has emerged in such fields as counterfeiting, trafficking in human beings and child pornography. New cooperation methods (the European arrest warrant) and new institutions (Eurojust, joint investigation teams) were created to cope with the challenges of transnational criminal law. The present collection is a selection of the most important instruments. It is meant to guide students and practitioners through the labyrinth. Its focus is on international (universal) and European instruments. The Third Revised Edition of this invaluable collection has grown considerably in comparison to previous editions, a fact which bears witness to the dramatic increase in international criminal law instruments. The 'growth areas' it contains include the section on International Criminal Courts; sections on 'new' international crimes, such as cybercrime and child pornography; greatly expanded entries for certain 'old' crimes, such as terrorism; and increased entries for a new player in the field, the European Union.

More and more, international criminal law is becoming a fact of day-to-day life in an ever-globalizing village. Legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors, defence attorneys and civil servants in ministries are increasingly confronted with issues of international criminal law. The jurisprudence of the Yugoslavia tribunal in The Hague has intensified academic interest in the subject and is changing traditional attitudes towards the law. National courts have to address difficult questions of international criminal law. For example, in 1998, 1999, and 2000, Spanish, French, Belgian, English, and Chilean judges had to decide on different aspects of the case against Mr. Pinochet, obliging them to look at questions such as genocide, torture, crimes against humanity, terrorism, and forced disappearances. In recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the number of instruments in the field of international criminal law. Prominent examples are the Rome Statute for an International Criminal Court (1998), the Conventions on Terrorist Bombings (1998) and on the Financing of Terrorism (2000), and the EU Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters (2000). The present collection is a selection of the most important instruments. It is meant to guide students and practitioners through the labyrinth and focusses is on international (universal) and European instruments.
