It faces huge obstacles. It has no police force; it pursues investigations in areas of tremendous turmoil, conflict, and death; it is charged both with trying suspects and with aiding their victims; and it seeks to combine divergent legal traditions in an entirely new international legal mechanism. International law advocates sought to establish a standing international criminal court for more than 150 years. Other, temporary, single-purpose criminal tribunals, truth commissions, and special courts have come and gone, but the ICC is the only permanent inheritor of the Nuremberg legacy. In Building the International Criminal Court, Oberlin College Professor of Politics Ben Schiff analyzes the International Criminal Court, melding historical perspective, international relations theories, and observers' insights to explain the Court's origins, creation, innovations, dynamics, and operational challenges. 606 $aInternational criminal courts 615 0$aInternational criminal courts. 676 $a345/.01 700 $aSchiff$b Benjamin N.$f1952-$01650986 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824297003321 996 $aBuilding the international criminal court$94000662 997 $aUNINA
