The International Criminal Court ushers in a new era in the protection of human rights. The Court will prosecute genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes when national justice systems are either unwilling or unable to do so themselves. This third revised edition considers the initial rulings by the Pre-Trial Chambers and the Appeals Chamber, and the cases it is prosecuting, namely, Democratic Republic of Congo, northern Uganda, Darfur, as well as those where it had decided not to proceed, such as Iraq. The law of the Court up to and including its ruling on a confirmation hearing, committing Chalres Lubanga for trial on child soldiers offences, is covered. It also addresses the difficulties created by US opposition, analysing the ineffectiveness of measures taken by Washington to obstruct the Court, and its increasing recognition of the inevitability of the institution.

This book is about the International Criminal Court (ICC), a new and highly distinctive criminal justice institution with the ability to prosecute the highest-level government officials, including heads of state, even in countries that have not accepted its jurisdiction. The book explores the historical development of international criminal law and the formal legal structure created by the Rome Statute, against the background of the Court’s search for objectivity in a political global environment. The book reviews the operations of the Court in practice and the Court’s position in the power politics of the international system. It discusses and clarifies all stages of an international criminal proceeding from the opening of the investigation to sentencing, reparations, and final appeals in the context of its restorative justice mission. Making appropriate comparisons and contrasts between the international criminal justice system and domestic and national systems, the book fills a gap in international criminal justice study.
"Offences Against the Person: Homicides and Non-fatal Assaults in Uganda, covers the substantive law on homicide and non-fatal assaults in Uganda. It is based on judicial interpretation of the Uganda Penal Code - the principal criminal legislation in the country. Ugandan law was originally based on English law and the Uganda Penal Code is still principally a reaction of criminal law as it existed in Britain in 1930. However, since independence, the Uganda Judiciary has interpreted the law in terms of Uganda's own political, cultural, social and economic circumstances. Using the records of Ugandan courts as well as older English Court Records - and of the Court of Appeal for Eastern Africa - the book gives students and scholars of criminal law details of the cases on which important judgements have been made and which therefore provide the basis for future decisions." "By answering questions of how wider policy issues have impacted or should impact on criminal law, the author hopes that students of law will be better prepared to deal with issues of law reform, especially from a human rights perspective."--BOOK JACKET.
