    Preventive Detention: Asking the Fundamental Questions

    Book | 1st edition 2013 | United Kingdom | Patrick Keyzer

    Sexual Violence as an International Crime: Interdisciplinary Approaches

    Book | 1st edition 2013 | World | Anne-Marie de Brouwer, Charlotte Ku, Renée Römkens, Larissa Van Den Herik
    This edited volume will focus on developments in the prosecution of cases of sexual violence in (post-)conflict situations.

It will address innovations and challenges of empirical and other new kinds of social scientific, archival and medical data collection techniques; the development of evidence in relation to charges ranging from sexual violence as a war crime to genocide; and evidentiary and procedural differences and difficulties involved in prosecuting sexual victimization in domestic versus international courts.

  7. Mens rea and defences in European criminal law

    Mens rea and defences in European criminal law

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | Europe | Jeroen Blomsma
    In the past decades, the process of European integration has influenced all fields of law, and eventually also criminal law. European legislation now requires Member States to criminalize all sorts of harmful conduct but does not determine the full scope of criminal liability, omitting to define general principles of criminal law such as ‘intention’. This book aims to remedy this by establishing what mens rea and defences should look like in European criminal law.

  8. Corruption: A Violation of Human Rights and a Crime Under International Law?

    Corruption: A Violation of Human Rights and a Crime Under International Law?

    Book | 1st edition 2012 | World | Martine Boersma
    Corruption currently receives an increasing amount of attention from scholars and practitioners in various disciplines, including law. While the phenomenon is as old as mankind, the last fifteen years saw the rise of many anti-corruption treaties, aimed at criminalisation, prevention and cooperation. At the same time, there seems to be relatively little work done on corruption in the field of human rights law or international criminal law. This book argues that these areas of law can certainly contribute to fighting corruption, by giving a human face to both victims and perpetrators.1
