Course overview

International criminal justice is at a crossroads. On the one hand, we now have an unprecedented ability to prosecute individuals accused of torture, genocide and crimes against humanity both domestically and internationally, emblematic of the extent to which these kinds of prosecutions have become normalised over the last seventy years. On the other hand, more and more countries have raised concerns about the efficacy  and fairness of international criminal prosecutions, arguing that they are selective or neocolonialist, biased or myopic. This is exemplified by the complex status and reception of the International Criminal Court, alternately lionised and criticised. This module introduces students to these debates and examines the legal and philosophical underpinnings of international criminal law and justice.
