'...Does peace require an accounting by those who have committed atrocities? Can such an accounting be achieved? Will efforts at such an accounting make it impossible to achieve peace? Johnson shows how the international community is struggling with this dilemma...provides fascinating insight...' John Quigley, Ohio State University, USA 'For those who believe that rule of law is essential to world peace with justice, the emergence of the International Criminal Court is of overwhelming significance.A For all who seek to understand the deep historic roots of this achievement, as well as the challenges confronted in applying the treaty to present day violators of its standards, Sterling Johnson's volume is essential reading.' Dr Chadwick F. Alger, Ohio State University, USA 'This is a book consisting of many important sources giving a good picture from the practical aspects of international criminal law and particularly its implementation under the political, juridical and military power of the super powerful states...recommended to all those who seek to find some of the main reasons for the violations of international criminal law and justice.'
