Additional text
Review from previous edition Ambos has succeeded in producing a work that is supremely impressive - and not only in terms of sheer quantity. Based on his own numerous preliminary studies, he skilfully and knowledgeably draws an arc from the foundations of international criminal law and criminal theory to the details of the enforcement regime. His Treatise not only provides a stupendously comprehensive evaluation of the relevant publications on international criminal law to date, but is also a veritable treasure trove of original ideas on relevant issues in substantive and procedural law.
