Since
the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court in
1998, international criminal law has rapidly grown in importance. This
three-volume treatise on international criminal law presents a
foundational, systematic, consistent, and comprehensive analysis of the
field. Taking into account the scholarly literature, not only sources
written in English but also in French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and
Spanish, the book draws on the author's extensive academic and practical
work in international criminal law. This second volume offers a
comprehensive analysis of the core international crimes, namely,
genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and aggression. It also
assesses relevant treaty crimes. It examines in detail the problem of
concours delictorum and the law of sentencing, offering proposals for
the development of a more consistent sentencing regime. The full
three-volume treatise will address the entirety of international
criminal law, re-stating and re-examining the fundamental principles
upon which it rests, the manner it is enacted, and the key issues that
are shaping its future. It will be essential reading for practitioners,
scholars, and students of international criminal law alike.
