International and European Criminal Law - 2nd edition

The second, fully revised and extended edition of this
English textbook offers a concise introduction to the main
areas of International and European Criminal Law. It includes
all of the latest substantive developments and contains
numerous references to international legal literature
and jurisprudence. The chapter on the comparative analysis
of the law of criminal jurisdiction illustrates the most
recent essential legal reforms in various European states.
The chapters on the criminal law of the European Union
now contain a completely new segment on fundamental
rights in the context of judicial cooperation in criminal
matters. Furthermore, the revised chapter of the textbook
regarding the European Charter on Human Rights
focusses particularly on the European Court for Human
Rights’ recent jurisprudence on the right of legal representation
and the right of confrontation. The chapters
regarding international criminal law have been amended
as to include the most important recent judgments and
decisions issued by the International Criminal Court.
Lastly, a visual synopsis has been attached to the textbook
displaying all situations and cases into which the International
Criminal Court has opened formal investigations so
far, including their broader socio-political backgrounds.
Praise for the first edition:
‘This book is both an outstanding and demanding presentation
of international criminal law and its current
developments and trends caused by globalisation.’
