Abstract:
The Book focuses on four post-conflicts situations in Kosovo, East Timor, Sierra Leone and Cambodia. Recognized scholars and practitioners analyse if and how accountability for serious human rights violations is being enforced. Thus, the Book is an interdisciplinary inquiry examining the nature of each of these conflicts and the legal framework established for addressing individual criminal responsibility. This methodology provides a combined reading of events, a deeper insight into the reasons for the urge for accountability for individual criminal responsibility. In addition, the Book serves as a sourcebook containing an indexed compendium of relevant instruments relating to the new approaches of international criminal justice applied in the countries mentioned.
