Introduction to The International Criminal Court / William A. Schabas 2nd ed. Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2004 xii, 481p. ; 23 cm. ; 23 cm. Indeks : p.458 - 481 p.430 - 457 This book considers the court's start-up preparations, including election of judges and prosecutor. It addresses the difficulties created by US opposition, and analyses the various measure taken by Washington to obstruct the Court. Three of the Court's fundamental documents - the 1998 Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedures and Evidence, and the Elements of Crimes - are reproduced in the Appendix. Indispensable for students and practitioners. The goal of it is both more modest and more ambitious: to provide a succinct and coherent introduction to the legal issues involved in the creation and operation of the ICC, and one that is accessible to non-specialists. References within the text signpost the way to rather more detailed sources when readers want additional analysis. It appears rather soon after the first, but this should only be taken as another indicator of the stunningly rapid progress of the Court. International Criminal Court 11580/MKRI-P/XII-2008
