This unique work is an article-by-article drafting history of the ICC Statute containing all versions of every article in the Statute as it evolved from 1994 to 1998. It also integrates in the Statute's provisions the "Elements of the Crimes" and the "Rules of Procedure and Evidence" adopted by the Preparatory Commission (1998-2000) and the Regulations of the Court adopted by the plenary of judges. A description of the ICC mechanisms and institutions precedes this article-by-article legislative history. Other relevant documents are also included, such as those concerning the privileges and immunities and financial regulations of the Court, as well as its relationship with the United Nations. This new edition contains the amendments adopted at the Kampala Conference, amendments to the Rules of Procedure and Evidence and the Regulations of the Court, and references to relevant case law covering the first decade of the Court’s judicial activity. It also offers an insightful first-hand account of the drafting process both prior to and during the Rome Diplomatic Conference, along with a detailed historical survey of the efforts to establish the ICC.
Government officials, judges, practitioners, and scholars seeking to interpret and understand the ICC Statute will find this publication unmatched for completeness and ease of use.

"..., the decision to publish this elucidative work on the legislative history of the ICC is praise-worthy for it provides the reader with all the information necessary to understand the negotiations leading to the ICC and its normative bases. The work is the most comprehensive legislative history to be published on the ICC to date. The separation into three volumes permits the reader to have quick access to whichever topic is of greater interest to him. (…) This book is indeed a valuable resource for academics, practitioners and students of international criminal justice. It will certainly serve as a guideline for those who would be called upon to interpret the Statute." - RiLG Prof. Dr. Kai Ambos, in: Zeitschrift für Internationale Strafrechtsdogmatik, 2007
"Several features do make this collection unique. In contrast with other publications, Bassiouni has merged three of the court’s fundamental documents- the 1998 Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and the Elements of Crimes- into one integrated document. Therefore, readers benefit from an article-by-article integrated text of the Statute, elements of crimes, and the rules of procedure and evidence. (…)
…the three volumes taken together provide the essential documentary history of the ICC. This is therefore a valuable resource for academics, jurists, historians, and students of international criminal justice, and the collection deserves to find its way onto the shelves of all academic law libraries." - Nicole La Violette, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa, in: The Canadian Yearbook of International Law, 2005
