Media Reviews
[The book] is a fitting tribute to two people who can be said to personify . . . the discipline of international criminal law. . . . What comes across in the interviews with both of these doyens of the subject is the human side of international criminal law. It is often asked if international criminal law offers 'humanity's justice.' What this much deserved tribute to two of the greats of international law provides is that whether or not international criminal law is humanity's justice, it is also human justice, with all the pros and cons that entails. --Robert Cryer Journal of Conflict and Security Law
