About the Author
Prof. Johan D. van der Vyver
JOHAN D. VAN DER VYVER participated in the proceedings that culminated in the drafting and approval of the Statute of the International Criminal Court, including the Rome Conference in 1998 and the Review Conference held in Kampala, Uganda in 2010. He initially represented The Carter Center in these proceedings. Based on this experience, he introduced a course in International Criminal Law in the School of Law of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States of America and wrote this textbook on International Criminal Law, published by Lambert Academic Publishing in three volumes.
Volume I deals with The History and Structures of the International Criminal Court, Volume II with Crimes within the Jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court, and Volume III with Functioning of the International Criminal Court. There are in these three volumes elaborate references to judgments of, among others, the Nuremberg Tribunal, the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the Special Court for Sierra Leone, and of course of the International Criminal Court. They also contain references to a great variety of books and law review articles of authors from a wide spectrum of countries.
