’Rethinking International Law and Justice provides fresh perspectives and insights about key global problems. It reconsiders the link between International Law and justice, incorporating broader concepts such as human security and responsibility to protect with more traditional approaches. It challenges us to think more broadly and deeply about the fundamentally ethical issues which beset the globe.’ Susan Kneebone, Monash University, Australia 'A formidable collection of scholarly and philosophical essays concerning international law viewed from the perspective of both formal and substantive justice. In depth studies of specific areas of international law bring to the fore the developing focus on individual rights and global justice emerging with international law and politics.' Tom Campbell, Charles Sturt University, Australia
