Abstract

In this short article, the author addresses some of the criticisms Professor Dinstein raises of the book, Defending Humanity. He argues that these criticisms undervalue both the use of robust jurisprudence of domestic criminal law in fleshing out international criminal law concepts, and the potential of resorting to this wealth of case law to interpret traditional international law from different perspectives. Moreover, in the author's view, Professor Dinstein's unstinting reliance on positive international law is not entirely convincing and is applied inconsistently in support of his strict interpretations.
