New Approaches in International Criminal Justice: Kosovo, East Timor, Sierra Leone and Cambodia

 


Kai Ambos, Professor of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Comparative and International Criminal Law at the University of Göttingen, Germany.
Mohamed Othman, LLB (Hons), Prosecutor General for East Timor.

ISBN 3-86113-057-2, 298 pages, edition iuscrim des Max-Planck-Institutes für ausländisches und internationales Strafrecht, Freiburg i. Br. 2003

The Book focuses on four post-conflicts situations in Kosovo, East Timor, Sierra Leone and Cambodia. Recognized scholars and practitioners analyse if and how accountability for serious human rights violations is being enforced. Thus, the Book is an interdisciplinary inquiry examining the nature of each of these conflicts and the legal framework established for addressing individual criminal responsibility. This methodology provides a combined reading of events, a deeper insight into the reasons for the urge for accountability for individual criminal responsibility. In addition, the Book serves as a sourcebook containing an indexed compendium of relevant instruments relating to the new approaches of international criminal justice applied in the countries mentioned.
