Review
'It is ... an extremely helpful resource when dealing with war crime issues even beyond the strict context of the Rome Statute ... given the largely case-oriented and case-based character of international humanitarian law generally and international criminal law in particular, it is quite useful that the book edited by Dörmann also contains a table of cases referred to. On the whole, it can be expected that [this book] will end up not only on the desks of those working for the International Criminal Court, namely its judges and those working for the prosecution but will also be a major starting point for every researcher working in the field.' German Yearbook of International Law
'... we should be grateful to the authors for bringing the results of their efforts into press. Readers should find the work an excellent reference guide ... is the sort of work that can provide the best introduction to some of the sources available ... The work has much to commend it ... The book is a very welcome addition to the literature in the area ...'. The King's College Law Journal

A must for any student of International Criminal Law!,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Elements of War Crimes under the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court: Sources and Commentary (Hardcover)
Dormann et al. offers comprehensive treatment of the elements of war crimes in international criminal law and is a must for any student of ICHL. This is especially important given the future of ICL based on the Rome Statute - that the mental, contextual, and material elements of a crime must be established in law and fact to lend credence to the culpability of the accused.
