Das Buch befasst sich mit einer Grundlagenfrage des Völkerstrafrechts. Es erörtert, ob und inwiefern zwischen den Kernverbrechen des IStGH-Statuts – Völkermord, Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit und Kriegsverbrechen – eine Rangordnung hinsichtlich der Schwere dieser Verbrechen besteht.Hierbei werden die jeweiligen Gewichte der Völkerrechtsverbrechen herausgearbeitet und zueinander in Relation gesetzt. Darüber hinaus findet eine Analyse der Wertungen des IStGH-Statuts sowie einzelner nationaler Regelungen von Vertrags- und Nichtvertragsstaaten in Hinblick auf eine Verbrechenshierarchie statt. Die Untersuchung gelangt zu dem Ergebnis, dass eine Hierarchie der Völkerrechtsverbrechen grundsätzlich zu bejahen ist
