Despite rich scholarship in the field written especially in the past two decades, there was a need for a comprehensive work which would, by combining doctrine and case law, consolidate contemporary international law on the crime of genocide. Its doctrinal dimension is evident through systematization of the contemporary law on genocide as a foundation for further research. In addition, this volume is a must-have for scholars and practitioners working in international criminal law.
