The volume edited by Bartłomiej Krzan offers different perspectives on the prosecution of international crimes. The analyses contained therein reflect different backgrounds, mainly legal, combining several disciplines, and making it a multidisciplinary study. The main (but definitely not the exclusive) point of reference is that of international law. In addition, other perspectives, those of legal history or sociology of law and obviously the one of criminal law (both substantive and procedural) provide useful alternatives or in most occasions complementary approaches to the examination of the prosecution of international crimes. The book combines different views, backgrounds and underlying assumptions. But gathered together they, it is to be hoped, shed some additional, useful light that might be helpful for identifying new dimensions of the reaction (judicial or other) towards international crimes.

Many advanced industrial countries are now experiencing chronic labor shortages that make it necessary for them to recruit labor from other nations, through either controlled or clandestine & spontaneous migration. This migration fails to correct the problem of either the country of origin or the host country. Most published empirical studies of this phenomenon, though methodologically sophisticated, have an inadequate theoretical basis & yield no useful conclusions. The concept of interdependence of nations must be central to a theoretical understanding of international migration. It should not be concluded that past policy failures mean no effective policy measures are possible; some suggestions are offered for more effective measures. 5 Illustrations. W. H. Stoddard

Despite the controversies born out of the conception of the federated state, it has been shown that the federal system is not only useful but often necessary. If nat'lism & its corollary, self-determination, demand that all nations have the right to decide their pol'al life there nevertheless often remain geographical givens, economies where historico-traditionalists demand in many cases the creation of a single state in the region inhabited by diverse ethnic groups. These 2 factors can only be reconciled by a federal structure. However, the characteristics & the structures of a federated state, in their most classic sense, are often difficult to apply to particular cases. Such is the case of Cyprus. The principle of self-determination in the present case appears impossible to apply in its strictest sense. It would be equivalent to a total abolition of the minority opinion. As for a compromise solution envisioning guarantees of order offered by the majority to respect the rights of the minority, the examples are numerous in history where these guarantees were broken. The proportional participation of the minority in the pol'al life of a country is a sage solution, which draws nigh to federalism but it would constitute no gauge of security for that minority (despite all the laws established toward this end) unless it were possible to create a climate of total confidence between the litigious parties.
