Abstract
At a time when the International Criminal Court is criticised by many of its critics, this book offers an analysis of the international judiciarisation of one of its initiators: Hans Kelsen. The normativism theorist has reflected on international law, including during his exile in the United States. It will continue to promote a United Nations whose pivotal body would be a jurisdiction. While making it possible to gain a better understanding of the intellectual trajectory of the Vietnamese lawyer from across the Atlantic, the studies gathered here highlight the tensions inherent in the establishment of the first military courts after the Second World War, whether they concern the recognition of a litigant or the application of the principle of non-retroactivity. Based in particular on the presentation and translation of texts on the responsibility and prosecution of war criminals, this book resonates with the contemporary dilemmas surrounding the establishment of international criminal justice.
