‘The Research Handbook on International Procedural Law, skilfully curated by the editors Joanna Gomula and Stephan Wittich, is a comprehensive and up-to-date appraisal of key facets within the realm of international procedural law. With contributions addressing procedural law issues in selected courts and tribunals, institutions and concepts of procedural law as well as “international procedural law in the making”, it is a must for scholars and practitioners in the – until now – under-researched area of international procedural law.’
