Biographical note
Luc Reydams is Associate Professional Specialist in the Department of Political Science at the University of Notre Dame and Associate Fellow of the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies. Jan Wouters is Jean Monnet Chair Ad Personam EU and Global Governance Professor of International Law and International Organizations Director at the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies. Cedric Ryngaert is Assistant Professor of International Law at the Universities of Leuven and Utrecht and Senior Researcher at the Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies.This monumental work is an unparalled and exhaustive study of the international prosecutorial function in a dozen international tribunals, including the postwar Nuremberg and Tokyo courts; the UN-created courts for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda; the Special Court for Sierra Leone; the East Timor Tribunal; the Cambodia court; the Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina; the Special Tribunal for Lebanon; and the ICC... International Prosecutors is a land-mark work. It provides a comprehensive and comparative examination of the prosecutorial functions in international criminal courts.
David Stoelting, Human Rights Quarterly
By exploring the evolving, multi-faceted roles played by these prosecutors, this book helps fill a significant gap in the secondary literature cohering around the evolution of international criminal law... International Prosecutors was well worth the wait and now occupies a space on my bookshelf reserved for a very few "must have" texts. While the book's primary use will be as a rich archival treasure for researchers, its substantive chapters could easily find use as valuable teaching aids supporting postgraduate courses and as a reference for professional litigators. Significantly, readers of this book will be far better equipped to understand and explain the significant, multi-faceted, and evolving role played by the international prosecutor in the conduct of contemporary-world affairs, particularly in matters of war and peace, and the politics thereof.
Damien Rogers, New Zealand Yearbook of International Law
The subject matter of this book was certainly missing from the international criminal law literature ... this book complements all others dealing with criminal procedure as such because it provides a brilliant insight into the workings of the office of an international prosecutor who must undertake the functions of a manager, a boss, a politician and diplomat and those of a practising lawyer under pressure to perform and deliver. This is an admirable effort and should be read by all those interested in substantive and procedural aspects of international criminal law.
