Abstract
The establishment of ad hoc international criminal tribunals for former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, the coming into force of the permanent International Criminal Court (ICC) and recent attempts to prosecute former dictators and tyrants for gross violations of human rights, and the growing salience of international humanitarian law have led to the growth of literature on what is popularly known as international criminal justice. The book under review has resulted from an international conference on ‘From a Culture of Impunity to a Culture of Accountability’ organized by the United Nations University and the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM) in Utrecht in November 2001. As the book contains revised and edited papers presented at the conference, it lacks a thematic and sequential presentation of issues. Chapters appear to be disconnected and it is hard to comprehend the rationale behind categorizing chapters in separate parts of the book.
