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 and ‘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 course literature throughout the world, and described inter alia as ‘passim’, ‘novel venture’, ‘very informative’ ‘scholarly knowledge’, ‘prized addition to the literature of international criminal justice’, ‘as an art form in legal theory’, and ‘an author who Speaks Truth to Power’. Malekian “offers a well-argued and often compelling argument that is highly critical both of international law and international criminal law institutions.”
