Tóm tắt:The trial of Slobodan Milosˇevic´ got under way on 12 February 2002 with the grand words of the ICTY Prosecutor, ‘Today, as never before, we see international justice in action.’ Four years and one month later, Milosˇevic´ lay dead in his cell in the United Nations Detention Unit in The Hague, the trial unconcluded and the grand project of international criminal justice apparently in jeopardy. What had brought international criminal law to this point and what would be the legacy of the Milosˇevic´ trial? This question is the background and motivation for this book.
