Justice in Extreme Cases

In Justice in Extreme Cases Darryl Robinson argues that the encounter between criminal law theory and international criminal law (ICL) can be illuminating in two directions: criminal law theory can challenge and improve ICL and conversely ICL''s novel puzzles can challenge and improve mainstream criminal law theory. Robinson recommends a ''coherentist'' method for discussions of principles justice and justification. Coherentism recognizes that prevailing understandings are fallible contingent human constructs. This book will be a valuable resource to scholars and jurists in ICL as well as scholars of criminal law theory and legal philosophy.
