Reihe: Challenges of Globalisation

Now seventy years since the Nuremberg Trials and it is imperative to assess the evolution of international criminal law and justice from different perspectives, particularly in the light of conflicting views on the role and importance of international criminal justice, especially in the aftermath of an intra-state conflict.
With an emphasis on the global south, this text considers the substantive evolution of international criminal law since Nuremberg, the concepts that have developed since then, the institutional mechanisms that have emerged in the last seventy years, and, if any, its contribution to the achievement of peace and reconciliation in transitional societies, and the future trajectory of international criminal law and justice. It offers academics, legal practitioners, diplomats, and NGOs the opportunity to reflect and articulate their views on the development of international criminal law and justice since 1945. It provides a platform for individuals from diverse backgrounds to examine the normative, legal and institutional frameworks within which international criminal justice has developed and is being pursued. As such, it offers offer insightful thoughts on how to further enhance the legitimacy of current international criminal justice institutions and mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court
This text will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners in Public International Law, International Criminal Law, Human Rights Law, and Humanitarian Law, Post-conflict and transitional justice, African Studies and Politics, and more broadly to International relations
