SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The ICC prosecutes genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes when national justice systems are either unwilling or unable to do so themselves. This revised edition considers the Court's start up preparations as well as the issue of US opposition. Indispensable for students and practitioners.
