The cover of Loius Moreno Ocampo's book, War and Justice in the 21st Century: A Case Study on the International Criminal Court and its Interaction with the War on Terror .
Louis Moreno Ocampo was always going to write a book about his nine years as the founding prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), but the 650-page tome that landed in 2023 is more than just a memoir.
War and Justice in the 21st Century: A Case Study on the International Criminal Court and its Interaction with the War on Terror is a fusion of legal philosophy, international diplomacy and biography. It captures the intricate attempt to unify a fragmented international legal system and the subsequent legal and political clashes that emerge from putting in place a global system of justice to punish the most heinous crimes.
