In June 1998, diplomats met in Rome to draft the Statute of an International Criminal Court. Based on the precedents of the Nuremberg and Tokyo Tribunals and of the War Crimes Tribunals for Former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the new Court will judge individuals, not States. This book discusses how unpunished mass slaughters have occurred in many countries, and how national justice is often ineffective. It states that truth and reconciliation commissions complement but do not replace justice, and that international "Peoples" Tribunals have no international legitimacy. It is hoped that a permanent, international criminal court may combat impunity and deter more crimes.
Industry Reviews

'In his latest offering, Judging War Criminals: The Politics of International Justice, Beigbeder brings his wealth of experience and obvious passion for justice to bear on an in-depth study and analysis of the development of individual responsibility in international criminal law...Beigbeder achieves a laudable symmetry between promoting his vision for international justice, sharing his rich experience and insight, and providing a rigorous analysis of the development of individual responsibility in international criminal law.' - Estelle Dehon, Politikon
