This is a distinguished and helpful book that given the globalization of crime and terror, will perform a valuable function as a reliable source of information and commentary on this formidable and often intimidating subject.

Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers.

The editors have presented a helpful and thoughtful overview of transnational organised crime; the book provides useful tools for both practitioners and academics who are interested in disciplines dealing with transnational organised crime and seek easy access to this area of law. The authors' contributions furnish an accurate, up-to-date and well-structured guide to the issues involved, providing the reader with a comprehensive picture of the current status of international law addressing transnational organised crime.

Laura Salvadego, German Yearbook of International Law

Since the end of the Cold War, states have become increasingly engaged in the suppression of transnational organised crime. The existence of the UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime and its Protocols demonstrates the necessity to comprehend this subject in a systematic way. Synthesizing the various sources of law that form this area of growing academic and practical importance, International Law and Transnational Organised Crime provides readers with a thorough understanding of the key concepts and legal instruments in international law governing transnational organised crime. The volume analyses transnational organised crime in consideration of the most relevant subareas of international law, such as international human rights and the law of armed conflict. Written by internationally recognized scholars in international and criminal law as well as respected high-level practitioners, this book is a useful tool for lawyers, public agents, and academics seeking straightforward and comprehensive access to a complex and significant topic.
