Description
The Right to Punish provides a comprehensive analysis of the political authority underlying international criminal justice systems. Luise Müller investigates the fundamental question of who has the legitimate right to punish international crimes and on what basis.
Drawing on legal theory, international relations, and philosophical perspectives, the book examines how international courts and tribunals, including the International Criminal Court, justify their authority to prosecute and punish individuals for crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. Müller addresses the tensions between national sovereignty and international justice, exploring how political authority is distributed and exercised in the global legal system.
This work contributes to the broader discourse on the legitimacy of international institutions and the foundations of international law, making it essential reading for scholars of international criminal justice, political theory, and comparative law.
