Editorial Reviews

'The International Criminal Court has become the most important subject in international criminal law literature. This book gathers the views and insights of a remarkable group of distinguished scholars and practitioners, whose experience is best placed to lead through the legal and practical achievements and challenges of international criminal justice, adding a new dimension to the understanding of the ICC, its workings and perspectives.' Cherif Bassiouni, De Paul University Chicago, USA and ISISC, Siracusa, Italy 'Judge Bellelli has assembled an impressive group of judges, scholars, and practitioners in the field of international criminal law. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to grasp developments in the practice of international criminal justice and how these could influence the application and review of the Rome Statute, including the adoption of a definition for the crime of aggression.' Judge Patrick Robinson, ICTY, The Netherlands '...provides a quite dynamic consideration of major issues that constitute the basis of international criminal tribunals.' Cambrian Law Review
