This book deals with a central concern of International Criminal Law, imperative for fair sentencing. It addresses the question whether and in how far the core crimes of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court -- Genocide, Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes -- can be ranked according to their inherent abstract gravity. The work analyses the inherent gravities of the core crimes and places them in relation to each other. Moreover, the Rome Statute itself as well as several national regulations of States Parties and Non-States Parties are investigated in respect to indications for an underlying ranking of these crimes. The inquiry concludes that, generally, an inherent hierarchy of international core crimes does exist.-- Abstract from publisher's website.

Annex includes selected passages from the criminal codes and other legislation of Canada, China, Colombia, France, Russia and the United States.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 363-385).
