Reviews

'This is a fascinating and scholarly book which analyses its subject with remarkable and methodical exhaustiveness, and is greatly to be welcomed by international and/or criminal lawyers'. Medical Law Review

'This comprehensive volume undoubtedly is essential reading for students of international criminal law and those involved in the prevention and punishment of genocide … this book is certainly an impressive study of genocide in international criminal law. It provides a refreshing account of the jurisprudence on genocide that has increased exponentially over the last decade. The most impressive quality of this work is its accuracy. ' Australian International Law Journal

'Professor Schabas has presented both practitioners and members of the academic community with a valuable in-depth study of all the aspects evolving around the crime of genocide. It can easily be predicted that Genocide in International Law will soon become a standard point of reference for anybody interested in the legal aspects of the crime of crimes.' German Yearbook of International law

'This is a monumental work. In the new field of genocide studies this book is an indispensable reference for scholars and legal practitioners … The importance of this hardly requires elaboration in a world which has witnessed, since the Holocaust, probably two dozen genocides or genocidal massacres.' Ethnic and Racial Studies

'… Professor Schabas has presented both practitioners and members of the academic community with a valuable in-depth study of all the aspects evolving around the crime of genocide. It can easily be predicted that Genocide in International Law will soon become a standard point of reference for anybody interested in the legal aspects of the 'crime of crimes'.' German Yearbook of International Law

'This book is certainly an impressive study of genocide in international criminal law. It provides a refreshing account of the jurisprudence on genocide that has increased exponentially over the last decade. The most impressive quality of this work is its accuracy. Professor Schabas avoids making bald assertions without the support of reasons, he readily concedes that many issues are yet to be resolved, and he proffers a reasoned assessment of the existing opinions in order to fill apparent voids.' Australian Journal of International Law

'… this work is an excellent introduction to the ICC …' The Cambridge Law Journal

' … this is a monumental contribution to the legal study of genocide in its multiple facets. Every library must feel proud to possess it. It will remain a celebrated book of reference for any future study of international crimes and human rights for a considerable time to come. Schabas deserves hearty congratulations for this painstaking, scrupulous and insightful work.' International Studies
