Schabas & Bernaz: Routledge Handbook of International Criminal Law

William A. Schabas (National Univ. of Ireland, Galway - Irish Centre for Human Rights) & Nadia Bernaz (Middlesex Univ. - Law) have published Routledge Handbook of International Criminal Law (Routledge 2010). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

International criminal law has developed extraordinarily quickly over the last decade, with the creation of ad hoc tribunals in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the establishment of a permanent International Criminal Court. This book provides a timely and comprehensive survey of emerging and existing areas of international criminal law.

The Handbook features new, specially commissioned papers by a range of international and leading experts in the field. It contains reflections on the theoretical aspects and contemporary debates in international criminal law.
