[Angeliki · Rating 4 out of 5]

Το δανείστηκα από τη βιβλιοθήκη για μια εργασία. Αποδείχτηκε πάρα πολύ χρήσιμο και με πολλά στοιχεία καθώς δεν περιορίζεται στην περιγραφή της λειτουργίας των διεθνών ποινικών δικαστηρίων αλλά προχωράει και σε μια βαθύτερη κατανόηση των γεγονότων που οδήγησαν στη σύστασή τους αλλά και στη χρησιμότητά τους στις κοινωνίες που εξέρχονται από μια κρίση.
