, An Introduction to
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
LAW AND PROCEDURE
International criminal law has developed considerably in the last decade and a
half, resulting in a complex and re-invigorated discipline. This has impacted
directly on the popularity of the study of the subject, particularly on postgraduate
law degrees. This textbook serves these courses by providing an introduction to the
principles of international criminal law and processes. Written by four inter-
national lawyers with experience of teaching international criminal law, it is
accessible yet sophisticated in its approach. It covers substantive international
criminal law, the institutions designed to enforce it and their procedures, and the
international law applicable to domestic prosecutions of international crimes. It
will be essential reading for students and teachers of international criminal law. In
addition to practitioners and researchers in the field, and in related fields such as
criminal law, students of international law and international relations will find this
introduction invaluable.
R O B E R T C R Y E R is Professor of International and Criminal Law at the
University of Birmingham.
H Å K A N F R I M A N is Honorary Professor at University College London.
D A R R Y L R O B I N S O N is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto,
Faculty of Law.
