Description

Founded by the late Otto Triffterer this leading commentary contains a detailed article-by-article analysis of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) by eminent legal practitioners and scholars in the field of international criminal law. The commentary explains the content of the various articles in a broader sense, including their drafting history, their impact on International Criminal Law, and their relation to other sources of the ICC such as the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and the Regulations of the Court and the Prosecution. The fourth edition has been thoroughly revised, updated and complemented with further resources. It contains up-to-date case law (including a Table of Cases), literature and legislative developments at the ICC in a clearly structured manner, and will continue to provide a useful guide for both practitioners and academics in various capacities.

Reviews

Like its predecessors, the commentarys fourth edition will guide academics and practitioners with great clarity through the exceedingly complicated maze of international criminal law when international criminal lawyers turn to the red and gold opus on their desk(top), they can be reassured that Ambos and his pristine team of authors provide answers or at least starting points for research on any question this field throws at them. -- Fin-Jasper Langmack * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
