This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is it in the enlightened self-interest of armed forces to have perpetrators of core international crimes brought to justice? This anthology adds the 'carrot' perspective of self-interest or incentives to the common rhetoric of 'stick' legal obligations and political pressures. Twenty authors from around the world discuss why military actors themselves often prefer accountability: Richard Saller, Andrew T. Cayley, William K. Lietzau, William J. Fenrick, Arne Willy Dahl, Richard J. Goldstone, Elizabeth L. Hillman, Bruce Houlder, Agus Widjojo, Marlene Mazel, Adel Maged, Kiki A. Japutra, Christopher Mahony, Christopher Jenks, Franklin D. Rosenblatt, Roberta Arnold, Roisin Burke, Elizabeth Santalla Vargas, Morten Bergsmo and SONG Tianying. The self-interests presented in this book are multi-dimensional: from internal professionalisation to external legitimacy; from institutional reputation to individual honour; from operational effectiveness to strategic stakes; from historical lessons to contemporary needs; from religious beliefs to aspirations for rule of law; from minimizing civilian interference to pre-empting international scrutiny. The case is made for long-term self-interest in accountability and increased military 'ownership' in repressing core international crimes. In his foreword, William K. Lietzau observes that of "all the international community's well-intended endeavours to foster accountability and end impunity, none is more important than that addressed in this book.""
Book Synopsis The Exercising of Military and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Over Civilians and War Crimes by : Judge Advocate Judge Advocate Generals School
Download or read book The Exercising of Military and Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Over Civilians and War Crimes written by Judge Advocate Judge Advocate Generals School and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-29 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the current state of military and federal extraterritorial jurisdiction over offenses committed in foreign countries by civilians accompanying the armed forces and by former servicemen. The Criminal Justice Reform Act of 1975 provides a solution to the presently existing jurisdictional void in this area by creating extraterritorial federal jurisdiction over citizens not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Military and federal jurisdiction under the Act are compared and contrasted with a view toward delineating the areas of exclusive and concurrent jurisdiction. Changes in the extraterritorial provisions of the Act are recommended to insure that jurisdiction over offenses by former servicemen is obtained. The thesis concludes by recommending policies and procedures for determining whether the military or civilian authorities should prosecute civilians in time of declared war. Additionally, prosecution of civilians and former servicemen for war crimes in the federal courts or by military commission is advocated.
Book Synopsis Complementarity and the Exercise of Universal Jurisdiction for Core International Crimes by : Morten Bergsmo
Download or read book Complementarity and the Exercise of Universal Jurisdiction for Core International Crimes written by Morten Bergsmo and published by Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concerns the relationship between the principles of complementarity and universal jurisdiction. Territorial States are normally affected most strongly by core international crimes committed during a conflict or an attack directed against its civilian population. Most victims reside in such States. Most damaged or plundered property is there. Public order and security are violated most severely in the territorial States. It is also on their territory that most of the evidence of the alleged crimes can be found. There are, in other words, obvious policy and practical reasons why States should accord priority to territoriality as a basis of jurisdiction. But is there also an obligation for States to defer exercise of universal jurisdiction of core international crimes to investigation and prosecution of the same crimes by the territorial State? What - if any - is the impact of the principle of complementarity in this respect? These are among the questions discussed in this anthology.

Book Synopsis State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law by : Morten Bergsmo
Download or read book State Sovereignty and International Criminal Law written by Morten Bergsmo and published by Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'State sovereignty' is often referred to as an obstacle to criminal justice for core international crimes by members of the international criminal justice movement. The exercise of State sovereignty is seen as a shield against effective implementation of such crimes. But it is sovereign States that create and become parties to international criminal law treaties and jurisdictions. They are the principal enforcers of criminal responsibility for international crimes, as reaffirmed by the complementarity principle on which the International Criminal Court (ICC) is based. Criminal justice for atrocities depends entirely on the ability of States to act. This volume revisits the relationship between State sovereignty and international criminal law along three main lines of inquiry. First, it considers the immunity of State officials from the exercise of foreign or international criminal jurisdiction. Secondly, with the closing down of the ad hoc international criminal tribunals, attention shifts to the exercise of national jurisdiction over core international crimes, making the scope of universal jurisdiction more relevant to perceptions of State sovereignty. Thirdly, could the amendments to the ICC Statute on the crime of aggression exacerbate tensions between the interests of State sovereignty and accountability? The book contains contributions by prominent international lawyers including Professor Christian Tomuschat, Judge Erkki Kourula, Judge LIU Daqun, Ambassador WANG Houli, Dr. ZHOU Lulu, Professor Claus Kre, Professor MA Chengyuan, Professor JIA Bingbing, Professor ZHU Lijiang and Mr. GUO Yang.

Book Synopsis Military Courts, Civil-Military Relations, and the Legal Battle for Democracy by : Brett J. Kyle
Download or read book Military Courts, Civil-Military Relations, and the Legal Battle for Democracy written by Brett J. Kyle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-22 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interaction between military and civilian courts, the political power that legal prerogatives can provide to the armed forces, and the difficult process civilian politicians face in reforming military justice remain glaringly under-examined, despite their implications for the quality and survival of democracy. This book breaks new ground by providing a theoretically rich, global examination of the operation and reform of military courts in democratic countries. Drawing on a newly created dataset of 120 countries over more than two centuries, it presents the first comprehensive picture of the evolution of military justice across states and over time. Combined with qualitative historical case studies of Colombia, Portugal, Indonesia, Fiji, Brazil, Pakistan, and the United States, the book presents a new framework for understanding how civilian actors are able to gain or lose legal control of the armed forces. The book’s findings have important lessons for scholars and policymakers working in the fields of democracy, civil-military relations, human rights, and the rule of law.
Book Synopsis The International Criminal Responsibility of War's Funders and Profiteers by : Nina H. B. Jørgensen
Download or read book The International Criminal Responsibility of War's Funders and Profiteers written by Nina H. B. Jørgensen and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is concerned with the commercial exploitation of armed conflict; it is about money, war, atrocities and economic actors, about the connections between them, and about responsibility. It aims to clarify the legal framework that defines these connections and gives rise to criminal or, in some instances, civil responsibility, referring both to mechanisms for international criminal justice, such as the International Criminal Court, and domestic systems. It considers which economic actors among individuals, businesses, governments and States should be held accountable and before which forum. Additionally, it addresses the question of how to recover illegally acquired profits and redirect them to benefit the victims of war. The chapters shine a critical light on the options provided by a network of laws to ensure that the 'great industrialists' of our time, who find economic opportunities in the war-ravaged lives of others, are unable to pursue those opportunities with impunity.
