Reviews

'Evans presents a clear and detailed overview of the rights of victims of armed conflict to receive reparation, and her book [is] recommended to any reader who wishes to study this evolving area of law. She provides a thorough exploration of state responsibility, emerging norms and relevant jurisprudence in Part I, with a focus in Part II on practice in four case studies, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, East Timor and Colombia.' Johanna Herman, Nordic Journal of Human Rights
