Meaning Making in International Criminal Law: A Normative Account of the Acts that Constitute International Crimes: Leiden Studies on the Frontiers of International Law, cartea 12

Autor Ciara Laverty
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 mai 2024
This book explores the normative dimensions of the acts that constitute international crimes. The book conceptualises the normative dimensions of these acts as processes of construction and meaning making. Developing a novel methodological approach, it identifies the narratives and discourses that emerge in practice as central for understanding the normative meanings of these acts. Using the crimes of attacks on cultural property, pillage, sexual violence and reproductive violence as case studies, the book offers a historical, conceptual, and discursive analysis of these crimes to develop a dynamic, pluralist and socially constructed account of wrong in international criminal law.
