About the Author

Guénaël Mettraux is Defence Counsel before the ICTY

Reviews

Mettraux has produced an essential volume that belongs on every international criminal law bookshelf. His grasp of the material is unequalled, a wonderful blend of knowledge that comes from years of working inside the system, but always presented with a welcome degree of scholarly detachment. The analysis is full of insights, some of them controversial and provocative. The book is beautifully written, and packed with helpful references. Professor William A. Schabas, Director of the Irish Centre for Human Rights at the National University of Ireland A masterful exposition of the ICTY and ICTR case law. The wealth of jurisprudential material is extremely well organized and set out clearly and concisely. An indispensable tool for both practitioners and scholars. Professor Antonio Cassese, Professor of International Law, Florence University, Former President of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia an essential reference work for both practitioners and anyone else with an interest in understanding the subject of international criminal law. Bing Bing Jia, International Criminal Law Review The value of the book is enhanced by the author's considerable experience as Associate Legal Officer of the ICTY who now often acts as Defence Counsel. Such insight into the workings of the tribunals is rare and the reader is constantly impressed by meticulous references to case law. Beautifully produced ... this book is a welcome addition to the current literature on international law. Ingrid Detier, International Affairs
