Reviews

'The intended audience is not limited...to scholars and diplomats: legal experts and practitioners alike will appreciate the scope and depth of the material, as well as the critical analysis employed by the volume's contributors. This book represents a fundamental addition to the study of international criminal justice. In the light of the ongoing negotiations within the international community in regard to the definition of crimes of aggression and the court's jurisdiction, the Proceedings of the Trento Conference mark a milestone in this field.' Judge Meron, President, International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia
