Reviews

"""The book edited by Sabine Michalowski, Professor of Law at the University of Essex, is a welcome contribution because it addresses a question almost unexplored so far: how can corporations be held accountable for their role in human rights abuses when a country is making a transition from conflict or repression to peace and democracy? The volume deals with this question from both a theoretical and a practical perspective."" - Damiano de Felice, London School of Economics and Political Science for Human Rights Law Review (vol 14, no 3, September 2014)"
