New Publication: Judicial Decisions in International Law Argumentation, Between Entrapment and Creativity, Letizia Lo Giacco (Author)

Do the decisions of courts transform international law? This book explores this question by looking at the issues of international criminal law. It focuses on cases in four key fields: protected groups in the definition of genocide; armed conflict in the definition of war crimes and serious violations of the laws and customs of war; command responsibility; and the 'unlawful combatant'. Cases are drawn from courts including the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg (IMT), the ICTY, the ICTR, and the ICC. This work offers an innovative way of considering the transformative effect of courts on international law.

Letizia Lo Giacco is Assistant Professor of Public International Law at Leiden University, the Netherlands.
