Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition: <p> The book represents a bold examination of complex international affairs which are both politically and legally fluid. It is a detailed, critical account of the factors that led to atrocities committed by and with the sanction of state organs against innocent civilians a ] . The work demonstrates commendable academic rigour and research. It is well researched and referenced, and is supplemented by a glossary and an explanation of acronyms and abbreviations used within the tribunals. (Guy Cumes, Criminal Law Forum, Issue 17, 2006)
