Description
This book examines the legal and policy issues involved in the establishment and functioning of the Permanent International Criminal Court.
...the book is a formidable collection of essays covering a wide range of topics... an ideal starting point for exploring the ICC and understanding its fundamental characteristics, and is thus particulary valuable for students of the field...the volume offers valuable insights and a handy reference guide for practitioners and academics interested in understanding one of the most important and complex international institutions. Markus Benzing Heidelberg Journal of International Law, Band 66, Number 3 2006 It provides enough detail for the novice to be useful, rather than overwhelming, and its insightful analysis and critical examination will be invaluable for those more familiar with the international criminal justice system generally. Teresa Dunworth, University of Auckland New Zealand Law Journal October 2004 It is a marvelous blend of theory, analysis, and real world politics presented in a coherent and linear fashion. In all, the book provides an comprehensive,..and well-written account of all aspects of the International Criminal Court. The editors have done a fine job of presenting works of outstanding scholars on a complex subject in a book to which many scholars-and certainly this reviewer-will refer for many years to come.
