Review of the hardback: '… one of the greatest assets of the publication under review is the use of case studies and the richness and variety of good (and bad) practice examines. The unique and clear perspective adopted by all the contributors makes the volume a contribution to this field and an essential tool for those who work in this area. Therefore this collective work must be warmly welcomed, and it is to be hope that it will provide guidance to judges, practitioners, and policymakers.' Leiden Journal of International Law
