Fragmentation is a potential problem in an international legal system that has seen the creation of new courts and tribunals around the world, with the chance for different judicial approaches to develop in different courts. This book addresses this issue by analyzing judicial practice in three areas: genocide, immunities, and the use of force.

The United Nations Convention Against Corruption represents the first binding global agreement on corruption. It has elevated anticorruption action to the international stage. This article sets the context for the Convention by considering the first wave of anticorruption initiatives that occurred at the regional level. It then assesses the significance of this new international convention by examining the negotiating process and the strategic positions of different countries. In particular, it analyzes the four areas that generated the most controversy during the negotiations: asset recovery, private sector corruption, political corruption, and monitoring. Although the Convention contains many innovative provisions, the article suggests that it also suffers from some basic weaknesses that may prevent it from having a real impact on corrupt behavior.
