Reviews

... a quite remarkable collection of essays ... The calibre of the authors is impressive. Australian Year Book of International Law ... a tremendous achievement. European Journal of International Law The book is impressive in every respect ... the list of contributors reads like a 'Who's Who' of International Criminal Law. European Journal of International Law ... the scholarly and practical importance of a work such as this - particularly for the eventual practitioners of the ICC - cannot be underestimated. It will surely withstand the tests of time and use as an indispensable standard reference work on the interpretation of the Statute. Legal Studies Throughout, the standard of writing and research is extremely high; the widest possible array of sources is cited and very few, if any, legal stones are left unturned. Legal Studies The thoroughness with which this project has been undertaken and the eminence of the contributors should ensure that this book will become a bible to a broad spectrum of academics and practitioners with an interest in this field. Law Quarterly Review The Rome Statute is not, and is not intended to be, the final word on individual liability at an international level. In drawing together the existing strands of jurisprudence in this area, this book provides an invaluable resource which should assist in a rational development of the law in the future. Law Quarterly Review ... seminal ... will without doubt become standard reading for practitioners and regular holdings at law libraries around the world. German Yearbook of International Law ... impressive ... essential for the shelves of any forward-thinking criminal practitioner. John Cooper, The Times
