Grawemeyer Award winner Kathryn Sikkink offers a landmark argument
for human rights prosecutions as a powerful political tool. She
shows how, in just three decades, state leaders in Latin America,
Europe, and Africa have lost their immunity from any accountability
for their human rights violations, becoming the subjects of highly
publicized trials resulting in severe consequences. This shift is
affecting the behavior of political leaders worldwide and may
change the face of global politics as we know it. Drawing on
extensive research and illuminating personal experience, Sikkink
reveals how the stunning emergence of human rights prosecutions has
come about; what effect it has had on democracy, conflict, and
repression; and what it means for leaders and citizens everywhere,
from Uruguay to the United States. The Justice Cascade is a vital
read for anyone interested in the future of world politics and
human rights.
