Crimes Against Humanity: The Struggle For Global Justice

Autor Geoffrey Robertson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 oct 2012
In this new edition ofCrimes Against Humanity: The Struggle for Global Justice, Geoffrey Robertson QC explains why we must hold political and military leaders accountable for genocide, torture and mass murder.
He shows how human rights standards can be enforced against cruel governments, armies and multi-national corporations. This seminal work now contains a critical perspective on recent events, such as the invasion of Iraq, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the killings in Darfur, the death of Milosevic and the trial of Saddam Hussein.
Cautiously optimistic about ending impunity, but unsparingly critical of diplomats, politicians, Bush lawyers and others who evade international rules, this book will provide further guidance to a movement which aims to make justice predominant in world affairs.

'States are the biggest bullies in the world. In this book, Geoffrey Robertson shows how they can be tamed'
