Bert Röling and the Emergence of International Criminal Law
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 September 2020
This chapter discusses the life and times of B. V. A. Röling, with a particular view to his contribution to the new discipline of international criminal law, and through the particular prism of an ethical analysis. At the heart of the article is Röling’s lukewarm involvement with the Tokyo Tribunal, which posed an ethical dilemma for him. The chapter sketches how he worked his way through his dilemma, and in doing so hopes to shed some light on the possibilities for adding virtue ethics to the global governance vocabulary.
