YEARS have seen a significant
shift in international thinking about the use of
criminal law, yet until now litde has been written
that tackles both traditional criminal law and the
international uses of the new millennium.
The Grammar of Criminal Law will be a
three-volume work that addresses the field of
international and comparative law, focusing on
issues of international concern, ranging from
genocide to domestic efforts to combat terrorism,
torture, and other international crimes. This first
volume is devoted to foundational issues. George
P. Fletcher contends that the future of criminal
law reform throughout the world depends both
on the influence of the Rome Statute, which
established the International Criminal Court,
and on a synthesis of the basic principles under¬
lying the leading legal systems of the world.
Fletcher s comparative synthesis is grounded in
three concepts that underlie all systems of crimi¬
nal law: human action, punishment, and guilt.
These are tied together by the concept of wrong¬
doing, which is central to the basic structure of
crime and punishment. It represents the response
to two basic questions: What makes offenders
guilty? What makes their actions punishable?
Fletcher goes on to develop the relevance of
both political and moral theory for the proper
analysis of criminal law. In the theory of crimi¬
nal law, he argues, the theory of state must
precede all inquiries into moral theory. It is
precisely a particular theory of the state that
determines which moral theories are relevant to
wrongdoing, guilt, and punishment. Virtually
all legal philosophers
—
following Dworkin s
lead
—
confound political analysis and appeal
directly to moral arguments, and moreover,
most retributive theorists skip the political
analysis and appeal directly to moral argu¬
ments. Fletcher takes on these competing
views, arguing that a direct appeal to moral
arguments in the law is impermissible without
first justifying the use of state power in punish¬
ing criminals.
The Grammar of Criminal Law is unique in
its systematic emphasis on the relationship
between language and legal theory. Written in
the spirit of Fletcher s classic Rethinking Crimi¬
nal Law, this work is essential reading in the
fields of international law, legal philosophy, and
criminal law.
