Biography

Konstantinos Mastorodimos studied law at Queen Mary College, University of London (Phd), the Democritus University of Thrace (LLM), the University of Geneva (LLM/MAS) and the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (LLM, Degree). He has published on topics relating to public international law, international humanitarian law, human rights law and constitutional law. He is currently employed at the Hellenic Coast-Guard.

"This is a useful and careful monograph, on a very topical subject matter. It is presented with analytical legal depth and sensitiveness to practice and its needs. The conclusions reached remain on the whole measured and reasonable - rather than excessively militant. This fact strengthens the impact of the analysis. Overall, a clearly gainful and stimulating reading for all those interested in the law of armed conflict." - Robert Kolb, University of Geneva, Switzerland

"Mastorodimos' monograph is an important contribution to a very topical aspect of international law: the accountability of Armed Non-State Actors in times of war and peace. The author covers all the relevant legal dimensions of International Humanitarian and Human Rights Law in depth. The writing is clear and convincing, as are his use of sources and analysis. This book is written for academics and professionals alike." - Sascha-Dominik Bachmann, Bournemouth University, UK
