This is the first book to comprehensively analyse integrity in international justice. Thirty-three chapters discuss in-depth the meaning of integrity, awareness and culture of integrity, the roles of international organizations and states as well as international courts in enhancing integrity, integrity as seen through the lens of cases, and the relationship between the principles of independence and integrity. The book considers integrity as a legally binding standard in international courts, while including perspectives from other disciplines such as philosophy, history, psychology and religion. It argues that respect for integrity among high officials and staff members is a prerequisite for international courts and other international organizations to fulfil their mandates.

Goldstone, Hanne Sophie Greve, Ivana Hrdličkov , Erik M se and David Re, and 37 other leading actors and experts in the field of international justice: Adedeji Adekunle, Jonathan Agar, Marina Aksenova, Antonio Angotti, Mohamed Badar, Morten Bergsmo, Vieri Biondi, Julija Bogoeva, Emiliano J.
