Kai Ambos has been Chair of Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Comparative Law and International Criminal Law at the Georg-August-Universitat Goettingen since May 2003 and Judge at the Provincial Court (Landgericht) of Goettingen since 2006. He has been Dean of Student Affairs between summer 2008 and 2010. From 1991 to 2003, he was senior research fellow at the Max-Planck-Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law (Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany) in charge of the International Criminal Law and Spanish-speaking Latin America Sections. On behalf of Germany, he has participated in the negotiations on the creation of the International Criminal Court and later became a member of the expert working group of the German Federal Ministry of Justice on implementing the Rome Statute. He has also worked extensively in Latin America on human rights, drug-related issues and criminal law reforms. He has written widely on international criminal law and procedure.
Ambos has succeeded in producing a work that is supremely impressive - and not only in terms of sheer quantity. Based on his own numerous preliminary studies, he skilfully and knowledgeably draws an arc from the foundations of international criminal law and criminal theory to the details of the enforcement regime. His Treatise not only provides a stupendously comprehensive evaluation of the relevant publications on international criminal law to date, but is also a veritable treasure trove of original ideas on relevant issues in substantive and procedural law. * Thomas Weigend, Criminal Law Forum *
