Mitarbeit:Benvenisti, Eyal

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores why, and to what extent, service personnel who commit offences abroad are prosecuted under their own country's laws. It also examines the relevance of international law to the practice, and clarifies uncertainties in the doctrine of jurisdiction and immunities. The book is essential reading in international and criminal law, especially in military contexts.
