It describes the main features of the court and discusses the political negotiations and the on-going clashes between those states who oppose the court, particularly the United States, and those who defend it. It also makes these issues accessible to non-lawyers and presents effective advocacy strategies for non-governmental organizations. It also delivers essential background to the place of the US in international relations and makes a major contribution to thinking about the ICC’s future. While global civil society does not deliver global democracy, it does contribute to more transparent, more deliberative and more ethical international decision-making which is ultimately preferable to a world of isolated sovereign states with no accountability outside their borders, or exclusive and secretive state-to-state diplomacy. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of international relations, international law, globalization and global governance UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24095/1/1006036.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24095/1/1006036.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/24095/1/1006036.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/30450 ER -
