This new book by Cassese provides a clear and concise account of the principles governing international crimes and an outline of international criminal trials. Adopting a combination of the classic common law and more theoretical approaches to the subject, it expounds the fundamentals of both substantive and procedural international criminal law, providing a theoretical framework to all the rules, principles, concepts, and legal constructs key to the subject. It also offers extensive treatment of the most significant traditional and novel cases in English, as well as unique English translations of a selection of relevant judgments in Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish, demonstrating the historical and human dimensions of such cases, and providing effective illustration of the practical problems encountered by criminal courts.

This review is from: International Criminal Law (Paperback)
What can I say about Antonio Cassese or his book to truely describe the work of this outstanding expert of international criminal law. The book is great any information you need about international criminal law is in there. Starting from International Crimes to any aspect interesting in the field mentioned above. This book is a must have for anyone interested in International Criminal Law but don't stop here :) For perfect library of International Criminal Law, next to Cassese you must read Gerhard Werle, William Schabas and Cherif Bassiouni. All these people, together with Antonio Cassese make fathers of International Criminal Law :)
