Presently, many of the greatest debates and controversies in international criminal law concern modes of liability for international crimes. The state of the law is unclear, to the detriment of accountability for major crimes and of the uniformity of international criminal law. The present book aims at clarifying the state of the law and provides a thorough analysis of the jurisprudence of international courts and tribunals, as well as of the debates and the questions these debates have left open. Renowned international criminal law scholars analyze, in discrete chapters, the modes of liability one by one; for each mode they identify the main trends in the jurisprudence and the main points of controversy. An introduction addresses the cross-cutting issues, and a conclusion anticipates possible evolutions that we may see in the future. The research on which this book is based was undertaken with the Geneva Academy.

This timely book explores how the domestic courts of states across Europe, North America and Oceania have defined and applied their substantive laws in universal jurisdiction trials for core international crimes. It considers what ‘universal justice’ actually looks like in the national courtrooms of diverse states and probes the extent to which there is uniformity in the pursuit to punish universally condemned crimes.Expert contributors analyse the relevant domestic laws in each state and examine their compatibility with the established international legal standards on war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Using a consistent analytical structure, they present selected universal jurisdiction trials from these states and study the charged crimes, modes of liability and grounds for excluding criminal responsibility. Chapters address definitional challenges associated with universal jurisdiction and discuss whether the need to punish internationally condemned crimes in such trials has prompted uniformity in how this is done. Universal Jurisdiction over Core International Crimes: Law & Practice is a vital read for legal scholars in international criminal and jurisdictional law. National courts, legislatures and policymakers involved in the investigation and prosecution of international crimes will also greatly benefit from the book’s theoretical and practical insights.
