Philippe Sands

Allen Lane, 2005

Fantastic Analysis of Current Events vis-a-vis International Law
This in-depth analysis of today's new world order through the lens of international law provides great information and research especially on international trade--with really interesting implications related to global warming--and the Iraq war and its 'torturous' aftermath.

A reminder of the banality of evil
In Torture Team, Philippe Sands, professor at University College London and a respected international lawyer, carefully examines how Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George W.

Good resource

From Nuremberg to The Hague: The Future of International Criminal Justice

1 review

Cambridge University Press, 2003

Minor Contribution to the Literature
The five essays in this short book dip into various aspects of post-World War II international criminal law. Although clearly written, the essays are only loosely linked, and it's hard to imagine what their audience was intended to be. Lawyers will be put off by the lack of a comprehensive legal overview of the new International Criminal Court; historians and political scientists will be ...

Lawless World: The Whistle-Blowing Account of How Bush and Blair Are Taking the Law into TheirOwn Hands

1 review
Philippe Sands

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

Deeply disturbing
Phillippe Sands "Lawless World" is a deeply disturbing book for anyone who shares my belief that America lives by the rules. It is indeed a "whistle-blowing" account of just how many rules of international law the Bush administration, with the complicity of Tony Blair of Great Britain, flouted in the run-up to and execution of the Iraq war. For someone like me who previously knew next to ...

Yet, as we come to realize the importance of developing international environmental standards, we find that the ability of international institutions to establish and enforce effective policies remains largely untested and ripe for debate. ...
