This unit will house International Criminal Law. This unit will address the history, sources and development of international criminal law, as well as the political dynamic influencing its operation. A range of international criminal courts will be examined, taking into account their interaction with national courts and others actors in the international system. Students will further gain an understanding of the substantive crimes (genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression) and substantive principles (such as defences, immunities and forms of responsibility) in this area of international law, as well as the relevant procedural law. The unit will include guest lectures from a current Senior Prosecuting Attorney at the International Criminal Court.
