Clay Publishes Chapter in National Law Publication
Elmira, NY (12/14/2018) — Dr. Daniel Clay, assistant professor of criminal justice, wrote a chapter in the recently published national publication, Philosophical Foundations of International Criminal Law: Correlating Thinkers. In his chapter, An Analysis of Lockean Philosophy in the Historical and Modern Context of the Development of, and the Jurisdictional Restraints Imposed by, the ICC Statute, Clay discusses several topics in regards to international law.
According to Clay, "International political theory presents numerous visions of the state of war and the state of peace, yet international law is silent as to their philosophical underpinnings. Instead, one must rely upon theoretical perspectives which not only may have played a role in the creation of the laws of nations but also the history and development of the International Criminal Court (ICC). To this end, this analysis traces the historical development of the ICC, its jurisdictional limitations, and its possible philosophical underpinnings, including the works of: Thomas Hobbes, Immanuel Kant, and John Locke; ultimately concluding that Locke provides the most complete, implicit support for the ICC and international criminal law in general."
The Philosophical Foundations of International Criminal Law: Correlating Thinkers is a publication that examines several facets of international law. Some of these topics include "foundational concepts in international criminal law" how it "correlates the teachings of leading philosophers of law and scholars with international criminal law," and "explores, against this background, the potential and limits of international criminal law."
