This monograph offers an insightful theoretical account of the underexplored defence of mistake of law in international criminal law. It interrogates the ICC's omission to expressly include this defence and it invites the reader to reflect on foundational questions regarding blameworthiness and legitimacy of punishment. As such, the monograph provides compelling thoughts on the message that laws send.
