| Description: | This book, by a leading figure in international criminal law (ICL), shows how to use moral theory to challenge and improve ICL, and how extreme cases can challenge and improve criminal law theory. It will appeal to scholars and jurists in ICL, as well as scholars of criminal law theory or legal philosophy. In Justice in Extreme Cases, Darryl Robinson argues that the encounter between criminal law theory and international criminal law (ICL) can be illuminating in two directions: criminal law theory can challenge and improve ICL, and conversely, ICL''s novel puzzles can challenge and improve mainstream criminal law theory. Robinson recommends a ''coherentist'' method for discussions of principles, justice and justification. Coherentism recognizes that prevailing understandings are fallible, contingent human constructs. This book will be a valuable resource to scholars and jurists in ICL, as well as scholars of criminal law theory and legal philosophy. |
