"International criminal law is shaped by the influence of individual scholars and the impact of specific rulings and legal frameworks. This volume provides a fresh perspective on core themes and notions of international criminal justice. It revisits the sources, treatment and reception of doctrine and jurisprudence from an inter-generational perspective. It analyses the role of scholars and practitioners such as Arendt, Damaska and Cassese concerning the conceptualisation of law and jurisprudence. Then, it assesses the goals and scope of international criminal law, including contemporary developments relating to the interaction between international and domestic jurisdiction (e.g., verticality, complementarity, gravity), the role of actors (such as state crime, corporations, private military companies) and crime definitions (aggression, child recruitment). Finally, the book includes a review of key concepts and challenges of individual responsibility and international criminal procedure." "The volume is designed to provide a critical rethinking of existing law and practice. It includes contributions by established scholars and new voices, thus making the work relevant for academics, international and domestic courts and tribunals, as well as non-governmental organizations. It was produced within the framework of the Marie Curie Project of the Grotius Centre for International Legal Studies, Leiden University & Campus The Hague."--Jacket.
