Malekian is a leading authority in substantive international criminal law and international criminal justice. He is recognized by a considerable number of international lawyers as the father of comparative international criminal law. He has “fame by name for numerous writings, including at a time when little or no attention was devoted to the body of international criminal law.” His works have been utilized as course literature throughout the world and appraised by critics, who describe Malekian’s work as very informative novel ventures in scholarly knowledge, a “prized addition to the literature of international criminal justice,” and “as an art form in legal theory.” As an author who “speaks truth to power,” Malekian offers well-argued and often compelling arguments that are highly critical of both international law and international criminal law institutions.
