This introductory chapter highlights the significance and timeliness of this book in the context of ongoing alleged international crimes in Southeast Asia, alongside the legacy of colonialism, historic international crimes trials (particularly after World War II), and past atrocities. It then draws upon international criminal law and international relations, especially constructivist, literature to define the ‘norm’ of international criminal justice. It explains why this book draws upon constructivist localisation theories with reference to the concepts of time, space, and direction. This approach provides an explanation for the book’s method and structure.
