Description

This course will endeavour to systematically analyse the most current state of international criminal law and its place in the modern international legal system in light of: (a) the entry into force of the 1998 Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court since 1 July 2002 and the setting up of the International Criminal Court (ICC); (b) a series of judgments on the substantive criminal law rendered by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and that for Rwanda; and (c) other recent developments, such as the rise of international terrorism, the proceedings against former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, and the establishment of tribunals in many parts of the world to punish international crimes, such as the Iraqi Tribunal set up to try Saddam Hussein and his subordinates.

While the focus of the course will be on the substantive law, important procedural aspects will also be considered.
