"The United Nations Principles to Combat Impunity is a comprehensive legal tool for both legal practitioners and students alike, offering the first full critical reflection of the subject. The book brings together all areas that aim to combat impunity, discussing transitional justice mechanisms, victims' rights and participation, and 'traditional' formal criminal justice instruments. Finally, the work is not afraid to offer criticisms of the principles in their current form and offers practical recommendations for improvement to the principles, positioning itself as a significant academic authority to the discussion of combating impunity in international law." - Shona Patience, International Criminal Law Review
