Law's Impunity

Reviews / Votes

The scholarship of the author and the quality of data analysis make the book an essential read for researchers concerned, not only with the PMC phenomenon, but mainly with questions of impunity in international law...an astonishing work bridging complex concepts with a contemporary empirical analysis of the important issue of PMC. -- Marcos Alan S V Ferreira * Journal of Human Security * Law's impunity is a well-written, thorough, and thought-provoking monograph. It provides a wealth of information and analysis concerning the history, practice and law applicable to private military companies, and then builds on this foundation by offering a compelling analysis of law's failures and potentially counter-productive efforts when it comes to regulating and holding such companies to account. -- Shane Darcy * Business and Human Rights Journal Vol 1 * Overall this book is an insightful guide for any critical legal scholar concerned with the questions of PMCs, corporate liability and, of course, the concept of impunity ... Liu's brave and controversial vision of law as a source of impunity challenges the traditional way of perceiving impunity, and tells a critical story of law's inability to embrace the myriad challenges posed by PMCs. -- Katerina Galai, University of Sussex * British Yearbook of International Law *
