What Is The Role Of International Criminal Law?

International criminal law governs crimes that have international significance, such as war crimes, genocide, terrorism, drug trafficking and money laundering. Its role is to promote justice and accountability across borders by establishing legal standards and mechanisms for prosecuting serious crimes that affect the international community.

He is able to tailor strategies for the specifics of each jurisdiction involved.
