"International criminal law has witnessed a rapid rise after the end of the Cold War. The United Nations refers to the birth of a new 'age of accountability', but certain historical objections, such as selectivity or victor's justice, have never fully gone away, and many of the justice dimensions of international criminal law remain unexplored. Various critiques have emerged in socio-legal scholarship or globalization discourse, revealing that there is a stark discrepancy between reality and expectation...[This book] explores these critiques through five main themes at the heart of contemporary dilemmas: the shifting contours of criminality and international crimes; the tension between individual and collective responsibility; the challenges of domestic, international, hybrid and regional justice institutions; the foundations of justice procedures; and approaches towards punishment and reparation."--
