Advance praise: 'Prepared by experienced litigators, this timely digest offers an extremely useful inside view of the first fifteen years at the ICC. It helps to understand the responses already given by the Court to some key challenges and will contribute to identify ways and means to enhance its future work.' Silvia Fernandez de Gurmendi, Former ICC President and Judge at the ICC Appeals Chamber Advance praise: 'Judicial reasoning in the form of appeal court decisions is an essential source of any developing jurisprudence. This compendium of case law from the superior tribunal in the international criminal jurisdiction is not only a credit to its authors but a testament to the maturity of the ICC. Its content is essential distillations of principle and practice. Its structure is imaginative and theorized around the unique features of justice expanded in the preamble. This compilation fills a void in much more than substantive legal commentary. The value of the book will be measured by its application in the critical development of a genuine international criminal law.' Mark Findlay, Singapore Management University Advance praise: 'A daunting task for international criminal lawyers is to understand the true significance of the ICC's extensive and developing appellate jurisprudence, and to distinguish deep-rooted trends from passing aberrations. This text shines a brilliant and highly authoritative light on the burgeoning case law, and it will immediately become the indispensable guide for practitioners.' Lord Justice Adrian Fulford, Investigatory Powers Commissioner (UK) and Presiding Judge at the ICC Trial Chamber in the Lubanga Case Advance praise: 'Comprehensive, richly detailed and impeccably authoritative, this is an essential reference on the interpretation of the Rome Statute. It also testifies to the already huge contribution of the Appeals Chamber to the development of international criminal law.' William Schabas, Middlesex University, London
