Reviews

'..., the decision to publish this elucidative work on the legislative history of the ICC is praise-worthy for it provides the reader with all the information necessary to understand the negotiations leading to the ICC and its normative bases. The work is the most comprehensive legislative history to be published on the ICC to date. The separation into three volumes permits the reader to have quick access to whichever topic is of greater interest to him. (...) This book is indeed a valuable resource for academics, practitioners and students of international criminal justice. It will certainly serve as a guideline for those who would be called upon to interpret the Statute.' RiLG Prof. Dr. Kai Ambos, Zeitschrift fur Internationale Strafrechtsdogmatik, 2007. 'Several features do make this collection unique. In contrast with other publications, Bassiouni has merged three of the court's fundamental documents- the 1998 Rome Statute, the Rules of Procedure and Evidence, and the Elements of Crimes- into one integrated document. Therefore, readers benefit from an article-by-article integrated text of the Statute, elements of crimes, and the rules of procedure and evidence. (...) ...the three volumes taken together provide the essential documentary history of the ICC. This is therefore a valuable resource for academics, jurists, historians, and students of international criminal justice, and the collection deserves to find its way onto the shelves of all academic law libraries. ' Nicole La Violette, Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, University of Ottawa, The Canadian Yearbook of International Law 2005.
