Zusatztext

"This book is a breakthrough not only because it pays due regard to comparative criminal studies, which have been largely neglected to date, but also because it covers numerous jurisdictions and thereby moves away from the traditional Eurocentric vision of law inherent to most of the current comparative scholarship . . . Arguably, the Handbook is poised to assist in the first step towards a more balanced and comprehensive system of international criminal law."
