This book demonstrates how, after many years of inactivity after
the World War II tribunals, judges at the Yugoslav, Rwanda and
Sierra Leone tribunals, and to a lesser extent the International
Criminal Court, have seized the opportunity to develop
international law on war crimes, crimes against humanity and
genocide. Meernik and Aloisi argue that judges are motivated by a
concern for human rights protection and the legacy of international
criminal justice. They have progressively expanded the reach of
international law to protect human rights and have used the power
of their own words to condemn human rights atrocities. Judges have
sentenced the guilty to lengthy and predictable terms in prison to
provide justice, deterrence of future violations and even to
advance peace and reconciliation. On judgment day, we show that
judges have sought to enhance the power of international justice.
