Subject of research:

The object of research is the broadly defined problem of the application of international criminal law. How does it respond to the challenges of reality? Is the International Criminal Court the last stage in the development of international justice or only an element of its evolution? What are the future prospects? How do states incorporate international criminal law into their legal systems?

The research examines, in particular, the case law of international tribunals, the doctrine of international criminal justice, international legal acts, as well as the policies of states with regard to the trials of individuals before international criminal tribunals.
