'Bringing International Fugitives to Justice provides an in-depth
and very nuanced discussion of the policies and practical issues
concerning extradition and the alternatives. It excels in combining
law, diplomacy, and practical aspects concerning the field. It is
well researched and annotated. The author's background in
government, private practice, and academia enables him to capture
well the many issues with which practitioners and policy-makers
must grapple. The comprehensive approach to this subject will make
it invaluable to a wide variety of professionals.' Bruce Zagaris,
Partner, Berliner, Corcoran and Rowe, LLP, Washington, DC, and
Editor-in-Chief, International Enforcement Law Reporter
'This is indeed a timely work by a writer with extensive knowledge
and relevant experience. Thoroughly examining the nature and scope
of extradition, it covers such critical issues as remedial means to
secure extradition and the alternatives to extradition, including
unilateral measures. It seeks to provide a new analytical framework
for understanding the operational means available to a state
wishing to bring a fugitive to justice and is thoughtful,
proactive, and practical. A study sure to prove influential in a
fast-moving and difficult environment.' Malcolm N. Shaw, QC, Senior
Fellow, Lauterpacht Centre for International Law, University of
Cambridge, and Practicing Barrister, Essex Court Chambers,
London
'This is an excellent one-volume analysis of myriad ways that
states pursue custody of persons located abroad, through
extradition and alternative (sometimes controversial) tactics.
Unlike other studies, Sadoff does not focus on a particular state
or region, but instead addresses the relevant law, politics, and
practice from a global perspective.' Sean D. Murphy, Patricia
Roberts Harris Research Professor of Law, George Washington
University, and Member, UN International Law Commission
