Persecution has found contemporary acceptance as conduct constituting one of the enumerated inhumane acts of crimes against humanity in terms of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). Despite its proscription under international criminal law, religious discrimination and religion-based persecution remain a major human rights issue of national and international concern. Accordingly, international prosecution systems are to be resorted to in pursuit of criminal accountability. However, the incessant impunity for persecution is not due to the lack of proscription in international law, but stems rather from definitional instability and legal vagueness, which is consequently addressed in this dissertation. The paper proposes a justifiable, comprehensively formulated and pragmatically verified conceptualisation of "Ë−grievous religious persecution' as a crime against humanity. In this regard, a relevant taxonomy is proposed which differentiates between different forms of persecutory conduct, discusses the mens rea requirement, establishes the intensity threshold, recommends an effective definition, and is finally applied to a relevant case study in order to analyse its practical efficiency. In furtherance thereof, the writer takes a multidisciplinary approach, briefly examining the existential nature of religious identity and freedom, as well as its role in characterising persecution as religion-orientated. This conceptualisation advances the legal discourse relating to religious persecution, which may potentially lessen the political and judicial unease regarding its perceived scope and application. This strengthens the efforts of human rights defenders, advances criminal accountability and counteracts impunity for "Ë−grievous religious persecution'. The overall thesis is therefore that it is possible to convincingly conceptualise "Ë−grievous religious persecution' by denoting a definitively formulated and pragmatically verified taxonomy of the legal preconditions for establishing the ICC's subject-matter jurisdiction.

This book offers a unique critical analysis of the legal nature, effects and limits of UN Security Council referrals to the International Criminal Court (ICC). Alexandre Skander Galand provides, for the first time, a full picture of two competing understandings of the nature of the Security Council referrals to the ICC, and their respective normative interplay with legal barriers to the exercise of universal prescriptive and adjudicative jurisdiction. The book shows that the application of the Rome Statute through a Security Council referral is inherently limited by the UN Charter as well as the Rome Statute, and can conflict with other branches of international law, including international human rights law, the law on immunities and the law of treaties. Hence, it spells out a conception of the nature and effects of Security Council referrals that responds to these limits and, in turn, informs the reader on the nature of the ICC itself.

“Nel focuses on grievous religious persecution as one manifestation of crimes against humanity. In spite of shocking reports in recent years about mass-scale atrocities, the issue of religious persecution so far has received comparatively limited attention in academic literature. By meticulously putting together the various elements that jointly define religious persecution, Nel’s dissertation fills a frequently felt gap. Moreover, he reminds us that humanity cannot remain silent about manifestations of grievous religious persecution, which after all are crimes against humanity as a whole. International criminal law must be applied to overcome the gloating triumph of perpetrators over their victims.” From the foreword by Prof. Dr. Heiner Bielefeldt, former U.N. Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief

This book offers the first comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the provisions of the ‘Malabo Protocol’—the amendment protocol to the Statute of the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights—adopted by the African Union at its 2014 Summit in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea. The Annex to the protocol, once it has received the required number of ratifications, will create a new Section in the African Court of Justice and Human and Peoples’ Rights with jurisdiction over international and transnational crimes, hence an ‘African Criminal Court’. In this book, leading experts in the field of international criminal law analyze the main provisions of the Annex to the Malabo Protocol. The book provides an essential and topical source of information for scholars, practitioners and students in the field of international criminal law, and for all readers with an interest in political science and African studies.

In addition, he is an Extraordinary Professor at the University of the Western Cape and Honorary Professor at North-West University of Political Science and Law (Xi’an, China). Moritz Vormbaum received his doctoral degree in criminal law from the University of Münster (Germany) and his postdoctoral degree from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

In this new collection of essays the editors assess the legacy of the Nuremberg Trial asking whether the Trial really did have a civilising influence or if it constituted little more than institutionalised vengeance. Three essays focus particularly on the historical context and involve rich analysis of, for example, the atmospherics of the Trial itself and the attitudes of German society at the time to the conduct of the Trial. The majority of the essays deal with the contemporary legacies of the Nuremberg Trial and attempt to assess the ongoing relevance of the Judgment itself and of the principles encapsulated in it. Some essays consider the importance of the principle of individual criminal responsibility under international law and argue that the international community has to some extent failed to fulfil the promise of Nuremberg in the decades since the Trial. Other essays focus on contemporary application of aspects of the substantive law of Nuremberg - particularly the international crime of aggression, the law of military occupation and the use of the crime of conspiracy as an alternative basis of criminal responsibility. The collection also includes essays analysing the nature and operation of a number of international criminal tribunals since Nuremberg including the permanent International Criminal Court. The final grouping of essays focus on the impact of the Nuremberg Trial on Australia examining, in particular, Australia's post-World War Two war crimes trials of Japanese defendants, Australia's extensive national case law on Article 1(F) of the Refugee Convention and Australia's national implementing legislation for the Rome Statute.
