Crime and Global Justice. The Dynamics of International Punishment - Book launch - Daniele Archibugi and Alice Pease

A new system of international criminal justice has been implemented in the last quarter of a century. This system comprise the more frequent recourse to universal jurisdiction by national judges, a battery of ad hoc tribunals and the investigations and trials carried out by the International Criminal Court. But which political aims have been really achieved? In light of the book Crime and Global Justice. The Dynamics of International Punishment, an attempt will be made to identify the current dead ends and, hopefully, a few fresh departures.
