This is the authoritative introduction to the International Criminal Court, fully updated in this sixth edition. The book covers the legal framework of the Court, the cases that it has heard and that are still to come, and the political debates surrounding its operation. It is written by one of the major authorities on the subject, in language accessible to non-specialists. The sixth edition brings legal references fully up to date in light of the Court's case law. Several trials have now been completed, with four convictions and a number of controversial acquittals. The book also discusses the situations that the Court is currently investigating, including Palestine, Georgia, Ukraine, Venezuela and the UK in Iraq. It also looks into the crisis with African states and the hostility of the United States to the institution.

'Professor Schabas' new edition of his introduction to the International Criminal Court provides an exceptionally clear and comprehensive view of this newly created court. Designed to be easily accessible to readers who are not specialists in the area, this volume reviews the historical development of international criminal justice, proceeds to a critical analysis of the conduct of the Court and its prosecutors since its creation, and gives a lively description of the political environment in which the Court operates, notably the challenges coming from the United States and Africa. Very clearly structured, the book not only contains a wealth of very interesting information but is a highly enjoyable read.' Philippe Kirsch, First President of the International Criminal Court
