'Shavana Musa shows that further research on the lesser-known historical precedents could be a very promising road to take. Her impressively comprehensive and detailed study provides the perfect start for such research. She provokes her readers to think along new lines and to consider ideas off the mainstream. This makes her book an important contribution to the field.' Fin-Jasper Langmack, Heidelberg Journal of International Law
