Omschrijving
Analyses not only the Rome Statute but the whole of International Criminal Law as it has been built up since the Nuremberg Trials. This work is of interest to international legal scholars, practitioners and judges, and to those who are interested in the administration of international justice and the workings of international institutions.
... a quite remarkable collection of essays ... The calibre of the authors is impressive.
... a tremendous achievement.
The book is impressive in every respect ... the list of contributors reads like a 'Who's Who' of International Criminal Law.
... the scholarly and practical importance of a work such as this - particularly for the eventual practitioners of the ICC - cannot be underestimated. It will surely withstand the tests of time and use as an indispensable standard reference work on the interpretation of the Statute.
Throughout, the standard of writing and research is extremely high; the widest possible array of sources is cited and very few, if any, legal stones are left unturned.
The thoroughness with which this project has been undertaken and the eminence of the contributors should ensure that this book will become a bible to a broad spectrum of academics and practitioners with an interest in this field.
The Rome Statute is not, and is not intended to be, the final word on individual liability at an international level. In drawing together the existing strands of jurisprudence in this area, this book provides an invaluable resource which should assist in a rational development of the law in the future.
... seminal ... will without doubt become standard reading for practitioners and regular holdings at law libraries around the world.
... impressive ... essential for the shelves of any forward-thinking criminal practitioner.
