justice.
*David Badertscher, New York Law Librarian*
The Companion offers a unique and comprehensive explanation and
analysis of the most important issues in international criminal
law. Although such a book has been long awaited by scholars and
practitioners, it can be noted that it was worth waiting for...
*Jernej Cernic, International Law Observer.eu*
The strength of this book lies in the various professional
backgrounds of its contributors, some of them being practitioners
working in international tribunals...The book addresses intricate
issues of international criminal justice in a manner that is also
accessible to persons who are not familiar with criminal law. It is
thus designed, not only to be a good doctrinal and practical
support for both international scholars and criminal lawyers, but
also to be used by anyone interested in current developments in
international criminal law. A great read!
*Elise Hansbury, Journal de TRIAL n19, july 2009*
Twelve hundred pages long, written by 132 authors, and comprising
21 essays, 300 encyclopedia entries, and more than 330 case
synopses, the book is, quite simply, the most ambitious edited work
in the history of international criminal law (ICL). Fortunately it
is also the best.
*Kevin Jon Heller, Melbourne Law School, The American Journal Of
International Law vol 104*
