This eye-opening book invites careful reflection on how we should respond to colonial and post-colonial wrongs from the perspective of international law, in particular international criminal law. In addition to a dozen case studies, the book offers analyses based on legal concepts such as subjugation, debellatio, continuing crime, and transfer of civilians, as well as on the discourses of Third World Approaches to International Law and transitional justice. It contains a number of practical suggestions for what can be done to enhance a sense of access to international law in connection with colonial wrongs. The book has eighteen chapters organised in five parts, addressing the context of the discussion on colonial wrongs and access to international law, legal notions, Colonial Burma, other former colonial territories, and indigenous populations. You find contributions by Morten Bergsmo, Joshua Castellino, Kevin Crow, Christophe Deprez, Shannon Fyfe, Gregory S.

In their foreword, the co-editors explain - with reference to lingering consequences of the slave-based economy - why the book is dedicated to "those who will transmute the legacies of colonial wrongs and slavery into a wider, world-embracing solidarity and unity". The book calls for renewed leadership in this area.

Edited by Morten Bergsmo, Mark Klamberg, Kjersti Lohne and Christopher B. Mahony, this book comprehensively explores the role and manifestations of power in international criminal justice. Twenty chapters discuss this topic in four main parts: power in international criminal justice institutions (Part I), representational power in international criminal justice (Part II), state power and autonomy in international criminal justice (Part III), and non-state power and external agents in international criminal justice (Part IV). The book invites the crystallisation of a sociology of international criminal justice, and argues that among its focuses should be the wielding of power within and over international criminal justice institutions, just as this is a feature of sociology of law within several countries. The contributors to this anthology are Marina Aksenova, Mayesha Alam, Helena Anne Anolak, David Baragwanath, Morten Bergsmo, Mikkel Jarle Christensen, Marieke de Hoon, Djordje Djordjevic, Gregory S.

Mahony, Jolana Makraiová, Jackson Nyamuya Maogoto, Benjamin Adesire Mugisho, Tosin Osasona, Sara Paiusco, Barrie Sander, Joachim J. Savelsberg, Jacob Sprang, Chris Tenove and Sergey Vasiliev. The chapters draw on papers presented at a conference held in Florence in October 2017 co-organized by the Centre for International Law Research and Policy (CILRAP) and the InternationalNuremberg Principles Academy.
