About the previous edition
‘Tochilovsky is one of the most respected writers in this area. Having practised before the ICTY from the earliest days and having acquired a wealth of international experience he is uniquely placed to write with authority and insight. His latest work is exceptional and superbly comprehensive. It is indispensable to all judges, practitioners and commentators who wish to get to grips with the law and jurisprudence of the international criminal tribunal and courts. I do not keep it on the shelf of my library, but on my desk for constant reference. I recommend it without any hesitation. A “must have” work for all of us privileged to practice in this area.’ Karim A.A.
