This monumental work is an unparalled and exhaustive study of the international prosecutorial function in a dozen international tribunals, including the postwar Nuremberg and Tokyo courts; the UN-created courts for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda; the Special Court for Sierra Leone; the East Timor Tribunal; the Cambodia court; the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina; the Special Tribunal for Lebanon; and the ICC... International Prosecutors is a land-mark work. It provides a comprehensive and comparative examination of the prosecutorial functions in international criminal courts. * David Stoelting, Human Rights Quarterly * By exploring the evolving, multi-faceted roles played by these prosecutors, this book helps fill a significant gap in the secondary literature cohering around the evolution of international criminal law... International Prosecutors was well worth the wait and now occupies a space on my bookshelf reserved for a very few "must have" texts. While the book's primary use will be as a rich archival treasure for researchers, its substantive chapters could easily find use as valuable teaching aids supporting postgraduate courses and as a reference for professional litigators. Significantly, readers of this book will be far better equipped to understand and explain the significant, multi-faceted, and evolving role played by the international prosecutor in the conduct of contemporary-world affairs, particularly in matters of war and peace, and the politics thereof. * Damien Rogers, New Zealand Yearbook of International Law * The subject matter of this book was certainly missing from the international criminal law literature ... this book complements all others dealing with criminal procedure as such because it provides a brilliant insight into the workings of the office of an international prosecutor who must undertake the functions of a manager, a boss, a politician and diplomat and those of a practising lawyer under pressure to perform and deliver. This is an admirable effort and should be read by all those interested in substantive and procedural aspects of international criminal law. * Ilias Bantekas, International Criminal Law Review 13 *
