The third volume of the series “Menschen.Rechte!” published by MANZ Verlag “International Criminal Law before Domestic Courts” deals with the complex interplay between international criminal law and the protection of human rights. Many international criminal offences constitute serious human rights violations, but can only be prosecuted to a limited extent by international criminal courts such as the International Criminal Court (ICC). But how is it possible to ensure that crimes against international law do not go unpunished? What role can national criminal courts play in this? And how must national proceedings be organised in order to meet the requirements of the international dimension?

This volume, written in English, brings together the answers of international legal researchers and practitioners and provides an overview of both historical and current developments.
