E-raamat: International Criminal Court and National Courts: A Contentious Relationship

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2011 'This book asks pertinent questions about the ability of the ICC to have an impact on national investigations and prosecutions of core international crimes. Such national enforcement represents the new frontline of criminal justice for atrocities. The author reminds us of the limitations of the ICC in this regard.' Morten Bergsmo, Georgetown University, USA 'The concept of complementary jurisdiction not only lies at the heart of the Rome Statute, but in many respects it is also becoming central to the operation of international criminal justice. In this text, Jurdi manages to tackle a sensitive and complex subject and does so with considerable talent. This book is a welcome contribution to the field of international criminal law.' Mohamed M. El Zeidy, International Criminal Court, formerly at the Egyptian Ministry of Justice 'Professor Jurdi identifies, collates and assesses one of the quintessential interstices in International Law - the interplay between national and international criminal jurisdiction. He peels back the layers of detail found on and under the skin of this intriguing slice of the relationship between and distinctions among, the jurisdiction and jurisprudence of national and international tribunals.'
