Cíle předmětu
This course provides an introduction to the field of international criminal law. It traces the history of this relatively new field of law since the Nuremberg and Tokyo tribunals and focuses mainly on the International Criminal Court (ICC). The ICC is the only permanent international criminal court and investigates, prosecutes and tries individuals accused of committing the most serious crimes of concern to the international community. The course will focus on the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and the crime of aggression. Students will develop an understanding of the workings of the Court and will be able to ‘experience’ the world of international criminal justice by participating in a moot court exercise. The moot court will be based on a fictitious ICC case and students will be split up into various teams, representing different parties to a case at the ICC, such as the Defence, Prosecution and Victims’ Counsel.
