Rezensionen

"It is the first and the only book to offer a comprehensive overview of the international law aspects of Russia's involvement in Crimea in 2014. ... offers a comprehensive and analytical overview of the relevant modern rules of international law in the field of territorial integrity, self-determination and the use of force. ... This is certainly indispensable reading not only for international lawyers but also for a wider audience interested in modern international conflicts." (Natalia Cwicinskaja, Israel Law Review, Vol. 50 (2), 2017)

"A fascinating and thought-provoking work, which provides a compelling and comprehensive analysis of the legality and legal implications of the Russian intervention in, and annexation of, Crimea. It is an impressive and eloquent study that touches upon various fundamental issues of international law and places the Russian actions in their broader normative context. It will remain an authoritative work on the Ukrainian crisis in the yearsto come, of considerable interest to international lawyers and international relations scholars alike." (Tom Ruys, The American Journal of International Law, Vol. 110, 2016)
