International criminal justice is, at its core, an anti-atrocity
project. Yet just what an 'atrocity' is remains undefined and
undertheorized. This book examines how associations between
atrocity commission and the production of horrific spectacles shape
the processes through which international crimes are identified and
conceptualized, leading to the foregrounding of certain forms of
mass violence and the backgrounding or complete invisibilization of
others. In doing so, it identifies various, seemingly banal ways
through which international crimes may be committed and
demonstrates how the criminality of such forms of violence and
abuse tends to be obfuscated. This book suggests that the failure
to address these 'invisible atrocities' represents a major flaw in
the current international criminal justice system, one that
produces a host of problematic repercussions and undermines the
legal legitimacy of international criminal law itself.
