In recent years, justice-related issues have figured prominently on the
international agenda. This expansion of the justice space is a product of a growing demand
for accountability in world politics.
Whether the issue is addressing heinous crimes such as genocide, war crimes and
crimes against humanity in situations of armed conflict, confronting the inability or
reluctance of governments to protect their own populations, or responding to the
challenges posed by transnational terrorism, the international community has witnessed the
proliferation of institutions and mechanisms, as well as the dynamic interplay between
domestic and international processes, in the pursuit of justice-sensitive outcomes.
International and hybrid tribunals, UN-led and domestic counter-terrorist initiatives, and
the use of force for human protection purposes have demarcated the space within which
ethical, political, and legal debates have unfolded in the quest for a more humane world
order.
In International Criminal Justice: Legal and Theoretical Perspectives, the
authors address some of the most important debates surrounding key mechanisms and
processes involved in this quest, and assess the merits of contending approaches to the
promotion of international justice norms. This volume will contribute to the ongoing
debate on the challenges, as well as opportunities, facing the justice agenda in its
effort to shape developments in an increasingly interdependent world.
