Synopsis

More and more, international criminal law is becoming a fact of day-to-day life in an ever-globalizing village. Legal practitioners, judges, prosecutors, defence attorneys and civil servants in ministries are increasingly confronted with issues of international criminal law. The jurisprudence of the Yugoslavia tribunal in The Hague has intensified academic interest in the subject and is changing traditional attitudes towards the law. National courts have to address difficult questions of international criminal law. For example, in 1998, 1999, and 2000, Spanish, French, Belgian, English, and Chilean judges had to decide on different aspects of the case against Mr. Pinochet, obliging them to look at questions such as genocide, torture, crimes against humanity, terrorism, and forced disappearances. In recent years, there has been an exponential growth in the number of instruments in the field of international criminal law. Prominent examples are the Rome Statute for an International Criminal Court (1998), the Conventions on Terrorist Bombings (1998) and on the Financing of Terrorism (2000), and the EU Convention on Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters (2000). The present collection is a selection of the most important instruments. It is meant to guide students and practitioners through the labyrinth and focusses is on international (universal) and European instruments.
