Beschreibung

<p><b>The definitive book on human rights law, now updated with a new chapter on war crimes in Ukraine</b> <b>and the continuing war in Gaza </b><br><br>In <i>Crimes Against Humanity</i>, Geoffrey Robertson KC explains why we must hold political and military leaders accountable for genocide, torture and mass murder.<br><br>He shows how human rights standards can be enforced against cruel governments, armies and multi-national corporations. This seminal work contains a critical perspective on 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.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>'A beacon of clear-sighted commitment to the humanitarian cause ... impassioned ... exemplary ... seminal' <i>Observer</i><br><br>'A devastating critique of the inadequate response of the international community to violations of basic freedoms ... a formidable achievement' <i>Evening Standard</i></b></p>
