Rezensionen

"Only thirty years ago issues about protecting civilians caught up in internal wars (including those waged by governments against their own people) and prosecuting war criminals would have never received much of an attention. The need for a deeper understanding of this matter was an afterthought. This volume by Raymond Kwun Sun Lau is an illustration of how far we have come. The author is among the emerging scholars in this field today. He has previously made outstanding contributions in expanding our knowledge with his comparative insight in US policy towards Liberia and West Africa. In this book, Dr. Lau brilliantly analyzes the relationship between R2P and the ICC from a theoretical, comparative and historical perspective, with the help of specific case studies from Uganda, Kenya and Darfur, Sudan. This book should be of great interest to policymakers and peace-keepers as well as graduate students and researchers in the field of International Relations and African Studies." - Seifudein Adem, Professor of Global Studies, Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan
