“This gem of a book … a very strong and formidable text … . The Parthenon Marbles and International Law is both a tour de horizon and a tour de force on the law. Marvelously written and with a keen eye for both detail and nuance, Professor Catharine Titi informs as much as she provokes thought on the nature of international law ... . It is a must read for anyone interested in this area of international law.” (Michael G. Karnavas, michaelgkarnavas.net/blog, August 2, 2023)”
