How is international criminal law adapted across time and space? Which actors are involved and how do those actors seek to prosecute atrocity crimes? States in Southeast Asia exhibit a range of adapted approaches toward prosecuting international crimes. By examining engagement with international criminal justice especially in Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Myanmar, this book offers a fresh and comprehensive approach to the study of international criminal law in the region. It nuances categories of the 'global' and 'local' and demonstrates how norms can be adapted in multiple spatial and temporal directions beyond the International Criminal Court. It proposes a shift in the focus of those interested in international criminal justice toward recognising the opportunities and expertise presented by existing adaptive responses to international crimes. This book will appeal to scholars, practitioners and advocates interested in international criminal law, international relations, transitional justice, civil society, and law in Southeast Asia.

'At a time when support for the ICC has waned in regions where it was once strong, Emma Palmer explores the impact of international criminal justice in a region which has the world’s lowest rate of Rome Statute ratifications. Just as the conviction of Habre in Dakar, and the removal and prosecution of Bashir in Khartoum, gives us hope for justice outside The Hague, Palmer’s excellent in-depth research of four countries resistant to the formal global system shows that international norms are being adapted and having a protective impact at the local level.' Stephen Rapp, former US Ambassador for global criminal justice, and international prosecutor for Rwanda and Sierra Leone
