Book Description
The International Criminal Court ushers in a new era in the protection of human rights.

This revised edition considers the court's start-up preparations, including election of judges and prosecutor. It also addresses the difficulties created by US opposition, and analyses the various measures taken by Washington to obstruct the Court.
