Its focus is on the moral, legal, and political questions that arise when individuals who commit collective crimes, such as crimes against humanity, are held accountable by international criminal tribunals. These tribunals challenge one of the most sacred prerogatives of states - sovereignty - breaches of which can be justified only in limited circumstances, following what the author calls a minimalist account of the justification of international prosecution. It is divided into four parts. Part A provides a definition of international crime and justifies the existence of norms that can achieve a universal binding force. Part B identifies and defends several principles of international criminal law. Part C turns to institutional arrangements for prosecuting group-based crimes. Part D looks at defenses, as well as alternatives, to international criminal prosecutions, such as amnesty and truth and reconciliation programs. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in international law, political philosophy, international relations, and human rights theory. 4aCrimes against humanity 4aInternational offenses  a11574/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11574/MKRI-P/XII-2008
