Reviews
...adds exceptionally useful insights about the legal construct of this somewhat sprawling subject. Its authors are a veritable Who's who of experts in International Law, who represent a diverse array of represented countries...This work product is well-written, well-documented, and an excellent resource for authoritative assessments of the daunting issues that will surely extend into at least the next generation of International Law quagmires spawned by the Iraq War. Amercian Society of International Law newsletter issue 39, May 09 As an intellectual signpost this compilation is as stimulating for academics as it is for practitioners. The former will gain a horizon-widening experience through certain landscapes of contemporary ius belli, without the risk of losing themselves in the lofty regions of idealism...The latter may gain more understanding of certain thought-provoking opinions and conclusions, not only in the laws of armed conflict but also those of human rights...A detailed introduction, tables of litigation and cases and a thorough index, complete this interesting compilation. Jan P. P. Ganschow Journal of International Law of Peace and Armed Conflict Volume 22, 2/2009
