Summary

By singling out the theme of recruitment and use of child soldiers in its first case, the Lubanga Trial Judgment of the International Criminal Court has legitimized the very idea of thematic prosecution at the international and national levels ... This is the first book to deal with the topic of thematic prosecution of core international crimes. Its focus is on international sex crimes. It is important to justify the singling out of a narrow range of criminality for prosecution, whether in internationalized or national criminal jurisdictions. Thematic prosecutions should be explained to the public. Absent proper justification, the thematic prosecution of core international crimes is likely to generate increasing controversy--, Provided by Publisher
