Global Prescriptive Authority 4. Global Adjudicative Authority 5. Defendants' Rights and Defences 6. SentencingReviewsThis remarkable contribution to the theoretical foundations of international criminal justice and this passionate invocation of a valuesoriented notion of gravity to strengthen the legitimacy of international criminal law is sure to spark significant debate in the coming years. * Marco Longobardo, Journal of International Criminal Justice * Gravity, it is often said, sets international crimes apart from other crimes. What makes them so, however, is far from obvious. In her thoughtful new monograph, Margaret M. deGuzman demonstrates that this routinely uttered conviction has always been as hazy as it appears today ... Shocking the Conscience of Humanity will prove an insightful companion to anyone pursuing such a line of research in the future. * Kerttuli Lingenfelter, Law Department, European University Institute, International Criminal Law Review * Prof. deGuzman's SHOCKING THE CONSCIENCE OF HUMANITY - Gravity and the Legitimacy of International Criminal Law offers valuable insight for practitioners and decision-makers and is an excellent starting point for the much-needed dialogic discussion proposed. * Michael G. Karnavas, michaelgkarnavas.net * Author InformationProfessor Margaret M. deGuzman is the James E. Beasley Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Institute for International Law and Public Policy at Temple University's Beasley School of Law.
