During the last decade international criminal law has developed rapidly. Principles of International Criminal Law takes up these developments to provide comprehensive coverage of substantive international criminal law. Gerhard Werle deals with the general principles of international criminal law as well as with individual crimes, such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. Fundamental issues, such as the evolution, sources and enforcement of international criminal law are included. The book analyzes the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court as well as customary international law. The case law of the ICTY and the ICTR as well as that of several national courts is extensively covered. The systematic and thorough approach adopted by the author makes this book indispensable for anyone involved in and interested in the attainment and development of international criminal law.

Editorial Reviews
Review
'... the book's structure and style allow for its use both as a reference work and as a practitioner's manual ... the author's scholarly modesty in naming his treatise Principles of International Criminal Law (emphasises added) deserves a particular mention. Professors Ian Browlie and Eric David had both previously adopted similar titles for their classical monographs on the law of peace and the law of armed conflict. If the experience of those modestly-named volumes is a any guide, Principles of International Criminal Law may also have a very successful future ahead. Journal of International Criminal Justice

Interested in international crimes? this is your book!,
By
This review is from: Principles of International Criminal Law (Paperback)
This book not only reviews the international crimes but also talks about problems that international criminal law faces when it comes to the elements of crimes. A really outstanding book, no other book gave me such detailed account of international crimes. I've used all the famous authors' books but Werle was the one really helped me through my finals. As for the quality of the book, it's good, it's not too thick, which doesn't make it uncomfortable to carry with you wherever you need to. I can honestly say that this is the best book you can get to learn about international crimes in depth.
