这篇介绍性文章概述了国家社会主义参与国际刑法和人道主义法的学术研究，主张对社会主义世界在塑造这些法律领域中的作用进行更仔细的审查。柏林墙倒塌后，关于1945年后国际立法的史学一直被1989年后西方对社会主义的必胜信念所主导，苏联及其盟友被描绘成自由进步的阻碍者。最近一波新马克思主义学者试图恢复社会主义对国际法的法律贡献，但没有在冷战政治冲突和社会主义集团内部严重侵犯人权的背景下充分处理这些问题。相比之下，本文集对社会主义与国际刑法和人道主义法的接触提供了一个平衡的理解，在承认他们对战后国际法律秩序的进步贡献的同时，审视了国家社会主义国家的现实政治议程。
This introductory essay provides an overview of the scholarship on state socialist engagements with international criminal and humanitarian law, arguing for a closer scrutiny of the socialist world’s role in shaping these fields of law. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the historiography on post-1945 international law-making has been generally dominated by a post-1989 sense of Western triumphalism over socialism, where the Soviet Union and its allies have been presented as obstructionists of liberal progress. A wave of neo-Marxist scholarship has more recently sought to recover socialist legal contributions to international law, without however fully addressing them in the context of Cold War political conflict and of gross human rights violations committed within the Socialist Bloc. In contrast, this collection provides a balanced understanding of the socialist engagements with international criminal and humanitarian law, looking at the realpolitik agendas of state socialist countries while acknowledging their progressive contributions to the post-war international legal order.
