On Friday 16 January 20 26, the book Universal Jurisdiction over Core International Crimes: L aw & Practice, edited by Lachezar Yanev and Harmen van der Wilt, will be launched at the VU.
This book explores how the domestic c ourts of states across Europe, North America and Oceania have defined and applied their substantive laws in universal jurisdiction trials for core international crimes. It considers what ‘universal justice ’ actually looks like in the national courtrooms of diverse states and probes the extent to which there is uniformity in the pursuit to punish universally condemned crimes.
