This collection ... offers a rich set of insights into how factors such as gender, geography, ethnicity, legal culture, race and religion affect adjudicators and shape international procedure and jurisprudence ... This is a challenging and thought-provoking volume. * Professor Hilary Charlesworth, University of Melbourne * In pursuit of justice, the practice of international adjudication itself must be subjected to constant scrutiny. Who is the Judge? is not a simple question, as the answer to it ultimately determines the credibility of the whole institution. Discussions in this book are insightful and thought-provoking. * Vice-President Hanqin Xue, International Court of Justice * The book traverses a broad panorama of international and regional courts and tribunals and is a valuable contribution to the jurisprudence on the subject. * Judge Neeru Chadha, International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea * This volume provides the most wide-ranging and thorough examination of the implications of identity and diversity of judges for the legitimacy of international courts and tribunals to date. * Dr. Olufemi Elias, Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals * The impression is often given that the interpretation and application of international laws is a matter of mechanics. It is not, as this fine collection of essays demonstrates with clarity, force and balance. This work could not be more timely or significant. * Professor Philippe Sands QC, UCL; Matrix Chambers *
