The essays are written by luminary scholars and jurists from Africa, Asia, Europe and the USA, and are coedited by Margaret M. de Guzman and Diane Marie Amann. They examine contemporary, historical, cultural, and theoretical aspects of the many arcs of global justice in which Professor Schabas has worked. These include public international law, human rights, transitional justice, international criminal law and capital punishment. In his chapter, The Role of Advocates in Developing International Law, Mr Jordash analyses the role of advocates in international courts and other dispute settlement mechanisms, showing that such advocates have considerable latitude in shaping the normative reach of international law.
