Book description

There are many variables of territoriality available to national courts under contemporary international law. Does the same apply to the International Criminal Court? And if so, what are the limits to the teleological expansion of the Court's territorial jurisdiction as regards, for example, partial commission of a crime in State not Party territory, crimes committed over the internet or crimes committed in occupied territories? Michael Vagias's analysis of the law and procedure surrounding the territorial jurisdiction of the Court examines issues such as the application of localisation theories of territoriality and the means of interpretation for article 12(2)(a); the principle of legality (nullum crimen sine lege) and human rights law for the interpretation of jurisdictional provisions; compétence de la compétence; crimes committed over the internet; and the procedure for jurisdictional objections.

Reviews

'One of the most useful aspects of this meticulously researched and highly analytical text is its comprehensive examination of the current, albeit limited, jurisprudence of the ICC in the context of the Court’s jurisdiction. The final chapter provides a valuable overview of the ICC’s procedural framework on jurisdiction that will no doubt be of use to scholars and practitioners alike.'

'… this book is a useful contribution to the literature on the sources and evidence of the law applying to international tribunals, and the appropriate application of these materials.'

'The Territorial Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court is an important addition to the growing body of scholarship examining the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court.'
