International Criminal Law: Bone of Contention or Interdisciplinary Cooperation Opportunity?

Abstract

Abstract The book review tackles Judge Aitala’s recently published International Criminal Law textbook and addresses its main features both against the background of existing textbooks and in light of the different conceptual and methodological toolkits used by international lawyers, on the one hand, and criminal lawyers, on the other, in their daily activities. It its purported that the two different groups should not think of icl as a bone of contention, but as an opportunity to cooperate and put to good use their respective knowledge and competence, instead.
