'International Law and Civil Wars is exceptionally thorough and useful. It is easy to recommend to scholars from social science and legal disciplines interested in the nexus of international law and civil war.' - Hamish Clift, LSE Review of Books 2013'International Law and Civil Wars makes a usefully and timely contribution to the literature. Although die-hard positivists might not be fully convinced that the most recent trends in foreign military intervention have passed into law, Lieblich’s assessment nonetheless convincingly shows the direction in which international practice seems to be evolving.'-- Aurel Sari, Journal of Conflict and Security Law
