International Criminal Law (eBook, ePUB)

Using or Abusing Legality?

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This study is located within international law and seeks to determine whether prosecuting political violence would necessarily entail an abuse of the legal process. Issues discussed in the book are the controversies over the location of the crime of aggression in either law or politics and the legal approach to the problems outlined. Taking examples from Libya, the Ivory Coast and Kenya, the work is of interest to those working in the areas of international criminal justice, international law, legal theory, and international relations. .
