International Criminal Justice: Law, Policy and its Relevance to Australia s security

International Criminal Justice (ICJ) is a discipline of increasing importance in global and national responses to atrocity and violence, in particular war crimes and terrorism. Australia has always been a significant participant in International Criminal Justice, contributing to the development of the legal, political and social issues associated with ICJ. Australia s security, as well as its standing in the international community will continue to be directly affected by the way it understands and applies ICJ. This project will critically analyse and assess the role, nature and impact of ICJ on Australia, make an important contribution to academic work and impact on policy development in this area.
