Lieblich on “The Crime of Aggression” by Dannenbaum

Eliav Lieblich (Tel Aviv University – Buchmann Faculty of Law) has posted Book Review: The Crime of Aggression, Humanity, and the Soldier, by Tom Dannenbaum (American Journal of International Law, 2019, Forthcoming) on SSRN.  Here is the abstract:

This book review surveys the main arguments in Tom Dannenbaum's "The Crime of Aggression, Humanity, and the Soldier," discusses their practical implications, and places them in the wider theoretical context of recent debates in just war theory.

And from the conclusion:

The Crime of Aggression, Humanity and the Soldier excels in the challenging task of transposing ethical concepts into detailed suggestions for legal reform. By constantly considering the institutional and practical implications of its proposals, the book remains grounded and does not veer off to utopianism. Moreover, it is well structured, expertly written, and never digresses from its main argument. This book will surely be central in shaping the debate on the crime of aggression in the years to come.

Both the review & Dannenbaum's important book are highly recommended.
