Dear readers,
For those of you in London, I will be participating in two public events in the city next week. The first will be a launch of my book, Justice in Conflict – The Effects of the International Criminal Court’s Interventions on Ending Wars and Building Peace, followed by a panel discussion on the future of the ICC. The event will feature Shehzad Charania, Kirsten Ainley, Kevin Jon Heller, Mark Hoffman, and myself. It will take place on Wednesday 16 November from 6.30 – 8.00pm at the London School of Economics. Details are available here.
The second event, taking place on 17 November from 5:00-6:30, will be a talk at SOAS entitled ‘Prosecutorial Opportunism and the International Criminal Court’. I will discuss the decision-making of the ICC’s Office of the Prosecutor as well as the future direction of prosecutions at the ICC. Details of that event can be found here.
Both events are open to the public. I hope to see some of you there!
Mark

Justice in Conflict 
Dear Mark!
I have a modest blog (michaelgkarnavas.net/blog) which covers many of the issues before the international courts – mostly for the practitioner’s (defece) perspective. In fact I regularly reference your thoughtful and insightful posts.
In any event, any chance your publisher can fw a book so I can review it. No drama if not possible.
Keep up the excellent work!
Regards,
Michael

Dear Michael,
Can you send me an e-mail and I will forward it to OUP to see if they can send a review copy. Thanks for your interest!
Best,
Mark
Not one of my Invitation to Events in London events. Interesting to see you are launching a book which investigates the relationship between peace and justice. I wish you luck with the publication.
