This book examines the UK approach to investigating
international crimes and serious human rights violations. In 2010, the United
Nations Secretary General referred to the emerging system of international
justice, including the creation of the International Criminal Court, as the
‘Age of Accountability.’ However, the UK has sometimes struggled to comply with
its international law obligations. Using examples from the post-World War II
period to 2018, interviews with leading UK military lawyers and newly disclosed
official documents, this work explains the legal duties, how the UK military and
civilian justice systems investigate alleged military misconduct and highlights
the challenges involved. It provides suggestions on strengthening domestic law
and policy and its importance for the UK’s legitimacy as an exporter of rule of
law expertise. This text is essential reading for practitioners, academics,
government officials and students of international, criminal, humanitarian or
human rights law.
