商品簡介
A criminal lawyer (U. of Utrecht) reviews the judicial implications of prosecution of international peacekeepers and members of military crisis operations under the principles of international criminal law, especially those of the International Criminal Court. Knoops outlines areas where criminal law liabilities and defenses may influence peacekeeping operations. The study analyzes the significance for peacekeepers of UN Security Council Resolutions 1422-1487--discontinued in June 2004--and so-called Article 98 Agreements. It also explores the dynamics between individual criminal liability and the responsibility of states and international institutions such as NATO and the UN. Knoop aims to provide a comprehensive guide for all those involved in the legal prosecution and defense of peacekeepers. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
