Summary

Much has been written about the legitimacy of international criminal law and the International Criminal Court. The underlying problem of what would constitute legitimacy or authority for the Court is rarely explored. This work seeks to deal with the issue by exploring the concept of authority and seeking to provide a theory of authority of international criminal law. The overarching intention of the work is to contribute to a more focused debate on the reasons for the Court’s perceived and actual lack of legitimacy.
