The research papers in this collection address several important and less-treated questions of international criminal law: International Committee of the Red Cross as a witness before international criminal tribunals; the definition of aggression, mistake of law as a defense, and the doctrine of command responsibility. The analyses in this collection are admirable and will be of great value to scholars and personals interested in international law, international relations and history, to leaders in policy-making, in the military and in the government in general, to practitioners litigating before the international criminal tribunals, and to the NGOs and the civil society that have been influential in promoting the establishment of the International Criminal Court and the rule of law in the world.
