The book offers An introduction to international law's approaches
to holding individuals accountable for human rights atrocities,
exploring whether human rights abusers can and should be brought to
justice.
The authors examine how, in the years since the Nuremberg trials,
states have created international norms holding abusers
accountable, tried such people domestically and internationally for
their crimes, and established other, non-criminal forms of
accountability. These include trials in domestic courts and
international tribunals such as the UN's Yugoslavia and Rwanda
tribunals and the International Criminal Court, as well as
nonprosecutorial mechanisms including civil suits, truth
commissions, and immigration measures. The authors appraise the
state of the law and its mechanisms, including analysis of the
principal crimes (such as genocide and crimes against humanity) and
discuss the opportunities for and challenges to further steps aimed
at accountability.
This fully updated new edition also explores individual
accountability for terrorist acts and accountability for acts
undertaken in the name of counter-terrorism policy, and provides
expanded coverage of aggression and crimes against peace.
