Description
Hans Kochler was appointed by the Secretary-General of the United Nations as international observer at the Lockerbie trial in the Netherlands.In making his case, Kochler provides a remarkably lucid yet detailed account of the developing idea and practice of international criminal justice since the 19th Century. He identifies the five possible modes for international criminal justice.Kochler concludes that the exercise of universal jurisdiction by national judiciaries runs the risk of creating international legal anarchy and can hardly be free from the taint of politics.
