Description

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 International licence.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Several instances of war crimes trials are familiar to all scholars, but in order to advance understanding of the development of international criminal law, it is important to provide a full range of evidence from less-familiar trials.

This book therefore provides an essential resource for a more comprehensive overview, uncovering and exploring some of the lesser-known war crimes trials that have taken place in a variety of contexts: international and domestic, northern and southern, historicand contemporary.

It analyses these trials with a view to recognising institutional innovations, clarifying doctrinal debates, and identifying their general relevance to contemporary international criminal law.

At the same time, the book recognises international criminal law's history of suppressionor sublimation: What stories has the discipline refused to tell?

What stories have been displaced by the ones it has told? Has international criminal law's framing or telling of these stories excluded other possibilities? And - perhaps most important of all - how can recovering the lost stories and imagining new narrative forms reconfigure the discipline?Many of the trials examined in this book have hardly ever before been discussed; others have been examined only in the most cursory manner.

Indeed, until now, no volume has been dedicated to telling the story of these trials, that have yet to find a place in the international criminal law canon.

Providing a detailed analysis of these trials, which took place in Europe, Africa, South America, and Australasia, in both historical and contemporary contexts, this book is essential reading foranyone concerned with the development of international criminal law.
