Details

The history of international criminal justice is often recounted as a series of institutional innovations. But international criminal justice is also the product of intellectual developments made in its infancy. This book examines the contributions of a dozen key figures in the early phase of international criminal justice, focusing principally on the inter-war years up to Nuremberg. Where did these figures come from, what did they have in common, and what is left of their legacy? What did they leave out? How was international criminal justice framed by the concerns of their epoch and what intuitions have passed the test of time? What does it mean to reimagine international criminal justice as emanating from individual intellectual narratives? In interrogating this past in all its complexity one does not only do justice to it; one can recover a sense of the manifold trajectories that international criminal justice could have taken.

Provides an in-depth study of leading figures in the early international criminal justice project and helps rediscover and understand who these individuals were
Historicizes the international criminal justice project and contextualizes international criminal justice in an earlier intellectual ferment
Addresses the diversity of ideas about international criminal justice and questions the hegemonic (white) male narrative of the intellectual history of international criminal justice
