Since 1990, 67 former heads of state or government have been
legitimately prosecuted for serious human rights or financial
crimes. Many of these leaders were brought to trial in reasonably
free and fair judicial processes, and some served time in prison as
a result. This book explores the reasons for the meteoric rise in
trials of senior leaders and the motivations, public dramas, and
intrigues that accompanied efforts to bring them to justice.
Drawing on an analysis of the 67 cases, the book examines the
emergence of regional trends in Europe and Latin America and
contains eight case studies of high-profile trials of former
government leaders: Augusto Pinochet (Chile), Alberto Fujimori
(Peru), Slobodan Milosevic (former Yugoslavia), Charles Taylor
(Liberia and Sierra Leone), and Saddam Hussein (Iraq) studies
written by experts who closely followed their cases and their
impacts on wider societies. This is the only book that examines the
rise in the number of domestic and international trials globally
and tells the tales in readable prose and with fascinating details.
