International Criminal Law: A Critical Restatement is an essential guide to the relatively recent, but rapidly growing field of international criminal justice. Written by four leading practitioners and academics associated with the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, this book analyzes the tribunals' substantive and procedural law from an entirely new and critical perspective. In addition, the book explains the tribunals' place in the international legal order, and their relationships with - and ramifications for - national jurisdictions.
