Recenzii
Jordan Paust … has produced a thorough and definitive account of US war crimes against its detainees.' W. Podmore
'… [Professor Paust] writes with the detachment and care one expects of a good Q.C.' Contemporary Review
'What Beyond the Law compellingly delivers is an anatomy of how members of the Bush Administration ran afoul of international human rights law and how some senior lawyers shattered norms of legal ethics and professional responsibility. Paust provides an argument as to how international criminal law might retrospectively frame those events. Regardless of how we debate where the law might go in terms of adapting to perilous new security threats, Paust's work encourages anti-terrorism initiatives to be implemented in the name of law and now against law. His work also ensures that those engaged in the struggle against terrorist atrocity sacrifice neither their dignity nor humanity.' European Journal of International Law
