Review from previous edition: '... the book's structure and style allow for its use both as a reference work and as a practitioner's manual ... the author's scholarly modesty in naming his treatise Principles of International Criminal Law (emphasises added) deserves a particular mention. Professors Ian Browlie and Eric David had both previously adopted similar titles for their classical monographs on the law of peace and the law of armed conflict. If the experience of those modestly-named volumes is a any guide, Principles of International Criminal Law may also have a very successful future ahead. Journal of International Criminal Justice

• 1. Foundations; 2. General principles; 3. Genocide; 4. Crimes against humanity; 5. War crimes; 6. The crime of aggression; 7. Appendices.
