Abstract

This work is an introductory chapter for a forthcoming book on International Criminal Law: Intersections and Contradictions to be published by Foundation Press as part of their Concepts & Insights series. This chapter weaves together the history and contemporary doctrines governing the jus ad bellum (addressing the legality of going to war) with the jus in bello (addressing the rules governing the means, methods, and tactics of warfare once a state of war exists). It then focuses on the penal implications of breaches of these two bodies of law with respect to the evolving definitions of war crimes and the crime of aggression. Additional chapters in the text address the history of ICL, the sources of ICL, the major international crimes and defenses, and ICL reasoning and rhetoric. Publication is expected in 2020 for adoption in 2021
