Ambos, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court The Commentary, founded by the late Otto Triffterer, is the leading commentary on the Rome Statute. The editor and a number of eminent legal practitioners and scholars in the field of international criminal law give a detailed article-by-article analysis of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC). The commentary aims at explaining the content of the various articles in a broader sense, including their drafting history, their impact on International Criminal Law, and their relation with other sources of the ICC such as the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, the Regulations of the Court and the Prosecution, etc. The new Edition of the commentary has been thoroughly revised, updated and complemented with some further resources. It contains up-to-date case law (including a Table of Cases), literature and legislative developments at the ICC. Due to the burgeoning body of International Criminal Law, clarity andstructure of presentation as well as greater consistency was a major objective of this new edition. It is hoped that the Commentary will continue to provide a useful guide for both practitioners and academics in various capacities.
