This is a comprehensive survey of the status of international law as it relates to crimes against humanity. Geoffrey Robertson is knowledgeable, authoritative, opinionated and wonderfully readable. I don't think that anyone else could translate this topic into a genuinely enjoyable read. (Read June 2013) ( )

Summary and history of human rights law and related institutions. Very informative, dryly written, but with elements of humour and personal insight. Overall, paints a sorry story of our world. ( )

Written in typically brilliant Robertson fashion, sweeps majestically across geograpical and temporal spheres, describing the human rights movement to the current day and the awful atrocities that have lined the path. So clear, as well as being brave enough to declare principles of international law and binding and crystallised, when many others will not go that far. Compulsory reading and the base point from which all thinking in the field of international criminal law should flow. ( )
