| Sumari: | Howdo we, and howshould we, punish someone whocommits genocide, crimes
against humanity, or discrimination-based war crimes? These questions – the

Although international criminal law has gone a long way to convict individuals
for perpetrating atrocity, it has traversed far less creative ground in terms
of conceptualizing how to sanction them. Scholars, too, have been remiss. Surprisingly

these institutions actually attain the proffered rationales. Furthermore, there is
little empirical work that assesses whether what international tribunals doctrinally
say they are doing actually has a consistent and predictable effect on the
quantum of sentence |
