"Simon Meisenberg and Ignaz Stegmiller have collected a volume of comprehensive chapters analysing the ECCC's contribution to international criminal justice. ... this book takes an objective look at the Court's successes and failures, thereby assessing its overall contribution to international criminal justice. ... Meisenberg and Stegmiller have provided an invaluable insight into the contributions of an extraordinary court." (Andrew Merrylees, Journal of International Criminal Justice, October, 2017)

"The Extraordinary Chambers is a valuable contribution to anyone interested in international criminal law and procedure and its continuing development in areas such as gender-based crimes and victim / civil party participation in the proceedings. ... I highly recommend The Extraordinary Chambers and congratulate Meisenberg and Stegmiller (along with all the chapter authors) for their contribution to our better understanding of the ECCC and its jurisprudence."
