“In the Name of the People” explores the idea of using law to achieve peace and justice, and how it is put into practice at the International Criminal Court (ICC).

“In the Name of the People: The Long Struggle of the International Criminal Court” is a critical portrait of the ICC and highlights the gap between the ambitions of a global court and the realities it faces in a world of power-driven politics.

The book traces the history of the idea, from the Nuremberg Trials to the modern system of international law, and its contribution to peace.

»An easy-to-understand book with many details of the daily work of the court« (Stuttgarter Zeitung)
