Summary
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first permanent tribunal of its kind, mandated to challenge criminal impunity on the part of national leaders and to promote accountability in world affairs. Independent and transnational, its indictments cannot be vetoed in… the Security Council. Paris explores the history of global justice, the politics behind America's opposition to the creation of a permanent international criminal court, and the implications for the world at large. Some strong language and explicit descriptions of violence. c2009.
