About the Authors

Sustainable Development, International Criminal Justice, and Treaty Implementation provides a serious and timely perspective on the relationship between two important and dynamic fields of international law. Comprising chapters written by leading academics and international lawyers, this book examines how the principles and practices of international criminal law and sustainable development can contribute to one another's elaboration, interpretation and implementation. Chapters in the book discuss the potential and limitations of international criminalization as a means for protecting the basic foundations of sustainable development; the role of existing international crimes in penalizing serious forms of economic, social, environmental and cultural harm; the indirect linkages that have developed between sustainable development and various mechanisms of criminal accountability and redress; and innovative proposals to broaden the scope of international criminal justice. With its rigorous and innovative arguments, this book forms a unique and urgent contribution to current debates on the future of global justice and sustainability.
- Provides the first serious and comprehensive overview of the relationship between two of the most important and vibrant fields in international law today: international criminal justice and sustainable development
- Features leading scholars, practitioners and advocates who consider existing practices at the intersection of these two fields as well as innovative proposals to strengthen the contribution of international criminal justice to global sustainability
- Addresses global efforts to end impunity for serious violations of international law and to build a more sustainable world
- Provides urgent and important insights about the future of international law and justice

'Sustainable Development, International Criminal Justice, and Treaty Implementation opens new horizons for the international criminal regime … Thanks to the editors and contributors of this book, the question of identifying which precise acts should be defined as new international crimes, based on the gravity of their adverse impacts on sustainable development and the appropriateness of such measure, is resolutely on the agenda for future research and law reform.' Christopher Campbell-Duruflé, Revue québécoise de droit international

“Sustainable Development, International Criminal Justice, and Treaty Implementation”address how international criminal law could contribute to achieving sustainable development in its many dimensions, as well as its possible shortcomings. The book convincingly makes the argument for further consideration of international criminal law and sustainable development as two mutually reinforcing fields, and in proposing novel and concrete ideas as to how this can be achieved. The book comprising chapters written by leading academics and international lawyers is an important read for a variety of stakeholders interested in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of international criminalization as a means for protecting sustainable development.
