From Discrimination to Death studies the process of genocide
through the human rights violations that occur during genocide.
Using individual testimonies and in-depth field research from the
Armenian Genocide, Holocaust and Cambodian Genocide, this book
demonstrates that a pattern of specific escalating human rights
abuses takes place in genocide. Offering an analysis of all these
particular human rights as they are violated in genocide, the
author intricately brings together genocide studies and human
rights, demonstrating how the 'crime of crimes' and the human
rights law regime correlate. The book applies the pattern of rights
violations to the Rohingya Genocide, revealing that this pattern
could have been used to prevent the violence against the Rohingya,
before advocating for a greater role for human rights oversight
bodies in genocide prevention. The pattern ascertained through the
research in this book offers a resource for governments and human
rights practitioners as a mid-stream indicator for genocide
prevention. It can also be used by lawyers and judges in genocide
trials to help determine whether genocide took place. Undergraduate
and postgraduate students, particularly of genocide studies, will
also greatly benefit from this book.
This book examines Australia's and the United States' ability to
prosecute their peacekeepers for sexual exploitation and abuse. The
United Nations has too long been plagued by sexual exploitation and
abuse in some of the world's most vulnerable communities.
Discussion within United Nations' reporting and academic
scholarship focuses on policy; however, a significant concern
outlined here is that peacekeepers are committing sexual offences
with impunity, despite exclusive criminal jurisdiction over
peacekeepers being granted to their sending states. In this
original study O'Brien provides an in-depth, feminist analysis of
US and Australian sexual offending law and jurisdiction over their
military and military-civilian peacekeepers. Based on timely
critical analysis, this book demonstrates the limitations states
face in ensuring accountability for sexual exploitation and abuse
by peacekeepers - a factor which directly contributes to ongoing
commission of and impunity for such offences. Calling for a
rights-based, transnational law response to these crimes, this
engaging and thought-provoking work will appeal to international
practitioners, governments, UN policy-makers, and scholars of
international, military and criminal law.
