Public international law deals extensively and increasingly with criminal conduct, that is heinous and ghastly enough to affect entire societies and regions. The formative source of modern international criminal law was the Nuremberg trials following the Second World War in which the leaders of Nazism were prosecuted for their part in genocide and atrocities across Europe. In 1998 an International criminal court was established in the Hague under what is known as the Rome Statute. This is specifically to try heads and members of governments who have taken part in crimes against humanity. Not all countries have agreed to take part, including Yemen, Libya, Iraq and the United States.

This course will provide a general introduction to the issues of international criminal law, including the problems of jurisdiction, extradition, and the role of international criminal courts. The perspective will be that of a criminal lawyer rather than an international lawyer, with the primary concern directed to issues of legality and due process. The issues of criminal responsibility for war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity will be analyzed critically and comparatively, with primary attention given to the problem of philosophical and legal foundations of international criminal liability.

William Mitchell’s criminal law program integrates legal theory, ethics, and practical skills to fully prepare you for a career in criminal justice and related fields. Attorneys with a focus in criminal law often work as public defenders, private defense attorneys, prosecutors, corporate counselors, and judges, just to name a few. The program offers an expansive array of courses that cover the fundamental principles of criminal law and procedure, as well as advanced courses that cover criminal law from state, federal, and international perspectives. Our trial advocacy program utilizes mock trials to provide trial skills, such as examining witnesses and giving opening and closing statements, while our clinic program allows you to represent actual clients in pending cases though the Misdemeanor Clinic and Criminal Appeals Clinic, or to assist inmates with post-conviction legal work through the Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners (LAMP) Clinic.
