This book is an exceptionally high-quality piece of work on the role played by domestic courts in Latin America in the development, codification, implementation of International Criminal Law. In particular, this book analyses how these courts have contributed to the definition of some international crimes, their elements, and their scope of application and, in so doing, have granted a better place to the legality principle as applied by continental legal systems. The book’s focus on Latin America is justified by the considerable amount of mass atrocities registered in the continent over the twentieth century by the hands of authoritarian regimes.

这本书是关于拉丁美洲国内法院在发展，编纂和执行国际刑法中所起的作用的非常高质量的著作。特别是，这本书分析了这些法院如何为某些国际罪行的定义，其要素及其适用范围做出了贡献，并因此为大陆法系所采用的合法性原则赋予了更好的地位。该书对拉丁美洲的关注是由二十世纪独裁政权在非洲大陆记录的大量大规模暴行所证明的。
