This subject examines International Criminal Law from both theoretical and practical perspectives. The subject commences by dealing with the framework of international law and its ability to try crimes of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. It will then examine the theoretical bases for the establishment of an International Criminal Court and the nature of offences that can be brought before the Court. The subject then turns to deal with principles of criminal culpability in international criminal law, as well as possible defences, and judicial procedures to be applied.
