This anthology is important for several reasons. First, it brings together a
diversity of quality contributions on difficult current topics such as the
reach of universal criminal jurisdiction for serious international crimes,
immunity of State officials in respect of such crimes, and the consequences
of the criminalisation of aggression in the context of the Rome
Statute of the International Criminal Court. These are three clusters of
controversy subject to intense discussions in international courts, between
governments, and among academics. The present book contributes to
those discussions.
