International criminal justice and the politics of compliance

"International Criminal Justice and the Politics of Compliance provides a comprehensive study of compliance with legal obligations derived from the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia's Statute and integrates theoretical debates on compliance into international justice scholarship.
