Books by William A. (Professor of International Law Schabas

This book provides a comprehensive account of the emergence of the customary law of human rights. It examines a range of human rights norms, and provides a useful guide to identifying those which can be described as customary.

This book, from renowned scholar William A. Schabas, sheds light on perhaps the most important international trial that never was: that of Kaiser Wilhelm II following the First World War. Schabas draws on numerous primary sources hitherto unexamined in published work, to craft a history of the very beginnings of international criminal justice.

Fully updated, the second edition of The International Criminal Court provides an article-by-article analysis of the Rome Statute, examining each of the 128 articles with reference to relevant case law, academic commentary, and related international instruments.

The first complete article-by-article English commentary on the ECHR, with chapters devoted to each distinct provision or article, this commentary explores the substance of the rights, the workings of the Court, and the enforcement of judgements.
