BRITISH JUSTICE WAR CRIMES AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIO...

This book examines the UK approach to investigating international crimes and serious human
rights violations. In 2010  the United Nations Secretary General referred to the emerging
system of international justice  including the creation of the International Criminal Court  as
the 'Age of Accountability.' However  the UK has sometimes struggled to comply with its
international law obligations. Using examples from the post-World War II period to 2018 
interviews with leading UK military lawyers and newly disclosed official documents  this work
explains the legal duties  how the UK military and civilian justice systems investigate alleged
military misconduct and highlights the challenges involved. It provides suggestions on
strengthening domestic law and policy and its importance for the UK's legitimacy as an exporter
of rule of law expertise. This text is essential reading for practitioners  academics 
government officials and students of international  criminal  humanitarian or human rights law.
