'The book edited by Brian D. Lepard is particularly rich and assembles a number of contributions of a very high quality … In this book the author of the review found responses to questions he has been asking for a long time. This is a work that deserves to be reflected upon and that helps lead to a better understanding in this time of violence of the importance of international law and its sources.' A. J. Bullier, Revue de Droit International et de Droit Comparé
'Overall, the present book presents novel arguments on how to re-examine CIL, and it does so insightfully. … 'Reexamining Customary International Law' represents a stimulating addition to the literature on the sources of international law, and it will be of a significant value to both academics and decision-makers, including lawyers, governments, international and non-governmental organisations and international courts and tribunals.'
