The Past, Present and Future of the International Criminal Court (Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher 2021). The table of contents is
here. Here's the abstract:
The International Criminal Court heralded a new era in the fight against
impunity and human rights protections. Arguably, while its Statute constitutionalizes the law with regard to core international crimes, customary and
treaty-based international law, the applicable general principles of law and
internationally recognized human rights, the Court may be seen as the institutionalization of that law. The new era witnessed a move from ad hoc imposition to a treaty-based universal system. This anthology follows the
twentieth anniversary of the Rome Statute and preempts the twentieth anniversary of the Court. It is designed to reflect the dynamics that shaped
and continue to shape the work of the Court as an intercultural, interdisciplinary and international endeavour. Moreover, it puts a special emphasis
on the important role of victims in the accountability process of those who
commit core international crimes.
