The United Nations refers to the birth of a new ‘age of accountability’, but certain historical objections, such as selectivity or victor’s justice, have never fully gone away, and many of the justice dimensions of international criminal law remain unexplored. Various critiques have emerged in sociolegal scholarship or globalization discourse, revealing that there is a stark discrepancy between reality and expectation. Linking discussion of legal theories, case law and practice to scholarship and opinion, A Critical Introduction to International Criminal Law explores these critiques through five main themes at the heart of contemporary dilemmas: • The shifting contours of criminality and international crimes • The tension between individual and collective responsibility • The challenges of domestic, international, hybrid and regional justice institutions • The foundations of justice procedures • Approaches towards punishment and reparation. The book is suitable for students, academics and professionals from multiple fields wishing to understand contemporary theories, practices and critiques of international criminal law.

  • Biases in Machine Learning Models and Big Data Analytics: the International Criminal and Humanitarian Law Implications Nema Milaninia*
    International Review of the Red Cross (2020), 102 (913), 199–234. Digital technologies and war doi:10.1017/S1816383121000096 Biases in machine learning models and big data analytics: The international criminal and humanitarian law implications Nema Milaninia* Abstract Advances in mobile phone technology and social media have created a world where the volume of information generated and shared is outpacing the ability of humans to review and use that data. Machine learning (ML) models and “big data” analytical tools have the power to ease that burden by making sense of this information and providing insights that might not otherwise exist. In the context of international criminal and human rights law, ML is being used for a variety of purposes, including to uncover mass graves in Mexico, find evidence of homes and schools destroyed in Darfur, detect fake videos and doctored evidence, predict the outcomes of judicial hearings at the European Court of Human Rights, and gather evidence of war crimes in Syria. ML models are also increasingly being incorporated by States into weapon systems in order to better enable targeting * The views expressed herein are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the ICC Office of the Prosecutor or Google. The author would like to thank Nasrina Bargzie, Alexa Koenig, Matthew Cross, Beth Van Schaack, María Sol Beker, Jérôme de Hemptinne, Nikki Ahmadi, Gayane Khechoomian, Yulia Nuzban, and the editors of the International Review of the Red Cross, Bruno Demeyere, Sai Venkatesh and Ash Stanley-Ryan, for their considerably important and insightful input and feedback.

Currently he is expanding his scope of interest including research on issues with regard to the human rights status of the elderly and the principle of neutrality in a democratic state. To satisfy his multiple curiosities de Hert teams up regularly with other authors. A human rights approach combined with a concern for theory is the common denominator of all his work. In his formative years, de Hert studied law, philosophy and religious sciences (1985-1992). After several books and articles in law and a productive decade of research for the Flemish Funds for Scientific Research, the Belgian Justice Department, the Department of Interior Affairs and the Brussels University Research Council in areas such as policing, video surveillance, international cooperation in criminal affairs and international exchange of police information, he broadened up his scope of interests and published a book on the European Convention on Human Rights (1998) and defended a doctorate in law in which he compared the constitutional strength of eighteenth and twentieth century constitutionalism in the light of contemporary social control practices ('Early Constitutionalism and Social Control. Liberal Democracy Hesitating between Rights Thinking and Liberty Thinking' (2000, Promoter: Prof. dr. Bart De Schutter (VUB)).

  • Individual Criminal Liability for the International Crime of Aggression
    Individual criminal liability for the international crime of aggression Gerhard Kemp Dissertation presented for the Degree of Doctor of Law at Stellenbosch University Promoter: Prof MG Erasmus Co-promoter: Prof SE van der Merwe March 2008 Declaration By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 19 February 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Summary Aggression is regarded as one of the core crimes under customary international law, but the definition of aggression is still contentious. At present there is no international instrument that provides for effective individual criminal liability for the crime of aggression. The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) provides for the inclusion of the crime of aggression within the court’s jurisdiction, but the Statute needs to be amended to include a definition of aggression and conditions for the exercise of jurisdiction by the ICC. This dissertation seeks to identify the elements of the international crime of aggression, for purposes of individual criminal liability. It is submitted that the creation of the ICC provides the international community with an historic opportunity to establish effective jurisdiction over the crime of aggression. Part A puts the research problem in its proper context. The international political and legal system, based on state sovereignty, provides the background to the analysis.

  • Prosecuting Crimes of International Concern: Islamic State at the ICC? Cóman Kenny*
    UTRECHT JOURNAL OF Cóman Kenny, ‘Prosecuting Crimes of International Concern: Islamic INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW State at the ICC?’ (2017) 33(84) Utrecht Journal of International and European Law, pp. 120-145 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/ ujiel.364 RESEARCH ARTICLE Prosecuting Crimes of International Concern: Islamic State at the ICC? Cóman Kenny* The rise of Islamic State (IS) has fundamentally altered the conception of terrorism, a development which international criminal law is arguably unprepared for. Given the scale and gravity of the group’s crimes, questions abound as to how those responsible will be held accountable. In the absence of significant domestic prosecutions and short of the establishment of a dedicated accountability mechanism, the International Criminal Court (ICC) stands as the forum of last resort in which IS members could stand trial. Such a proposition is not without significant challenges, however. This article addresses some key issues facing any potential prosecutions from the perspective of: (i) jurisdiction; (ii) applicable crimes; and (iii) modes of liability. First, as Syria, Iraq, and Libya are not States Parties to the Rome Statute, the available avenues for asserting jurisdiction will be assessed, namely: a Security Council referral; jurisdiction over so called ‘foreign fighters’ who are State Party nationals; and jurisdiction over attacks on the territory of a State Party and whether they could be considered part of a broader series of criminal acts in IS held territory. Second, as there is no crime of terrorism in the Rome Statute, the question of prosecuting acts encapsulated in a systematic campaign of terror through existing provisions will be assessed.
