Patryk I. Labuda is a Swiss National Science Foundation Fellow at the University of Zürich. He was previously an Assistant Professor of (International) Criminal Law at the University of Amsterdam. He holds a Ph.D. in international law from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.

Domestic prosecution of international crimes has become the mantra of international criminal law since the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in 2002. In International Criminal Tribunals and Domestic Accountability: In the Court's Shadow, Patryk Labuda expertly unpacks the assumption that international criminal tribunals such as the ICC catalyse domestic prosecutions. He deftly exposes the paradox of the increasing turn to domestic prosecutions of international crimes, which he argues may empower authoritarian elites, instead of providing meaningful accountability. Labuda's thoughtful book is a must read for anyone interested in the future of international criminal law.
