Libya: From Repression to Revolution: A Record of Armed Conflict and International Law

This timely book contains a number of useful documents on the Libyan crisis as well as several analyses by a team of experienced researchers under the guidance of Professor Bassiouni. Although much has been written about the situation following the fall of Ghaddafi in Libya and the legal or other bases for the invasion by foreign forces (under whatever pretext), it is not self-evident that the non-Libyan audience understands the context of the Libyan situation (including the politics, history, international relations, law, etc) before, prior and subsequent to the events of post-2011. To make the situation more compounded, the Libyan uprising has resulted effectively in the creation of two de facto regimes controlling parts of the country's territory, with several armed groups fighting among themselves or against the established de facto regimes.
