'NGOs are an integral part of international criminal justice, and Heidi Nichols Haddad does an excellent job explaining why NGOs are involved in judicial mechanisms, what they do, and how their involvement matters. Clearly written and theoretically informed, the book focuses on three different international courts and provides rich empirical details to support her argument. Thanks to Heidi Nichols Haddad the partnership between international courts and NGOs will no longer be ignored.' Patrice C. McMahon, University of Nebraska, Lincoln 'This book presents one of the first systematic analyses of the role and impact of NGOs before international courts. Combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, the book manages to shed light on key participants of international law that are very often overlooked. This book is full of insights and presents a highly convincing analysis. It is highly recommended to both students and scholars of international law and adjudication.' Mikael Rask Madsen, Director of iCourts, Centre of Excellence for International Courts 'In The Hidden Hands of Justice, Heidi Nichols Haddad delivers a path breaking scholarly account of the myriad ways that NGOs interact with, support, legitimize, and seek to influence three of the most important contemporary supra-national courts. This book should command great interest from scholars, policymakers, and activists interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the potential as well as the limitations of NGOs in advancing human rights, international courts, and global governance more generally.'
