Abstract
This essay aims to examine Hannah Arendt’s arguments in her book Eichmann in Jerusalem, in order to consider the crimes against humanity in international criminal law’s genealogy. We pledge the privileged character of Arendt’s reading on the Eichmann trial in the process of understanding the need of an international public order in the second half of the twentieth century, after the totalitarian rupture. In particular, we intend to present the issues of the momentum and the locus of international criminal justice, i.e., the notion of novelty (an “unprecedented crime”) and place (national, transnational or international).
