Editorial Reviews
Review
"Ratner and Abrams provide an incisive, knowledgeable, and comprehensive look at the substantive law and legal institutions that inhabit the intersection of international human rights law, international humanitarian law, and international criminal law....This volume...is a timely and essential resource for any scholar or practitioner."--Richard J. Goldstone, Justice, Constitutional Court of South Africa, and former Prosecutor, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia
"In their comprehensive and sober examination of the efforts to direct substantive international law from states to individuals and to invent effective mechanisms for personal accountability, Ratner and Abrams have produced a valuable, timely, indeed indispensable work. It will surely influence the formation of the United Nations International Criminal Court. More important, it will focus attention on the wide range of other techniques the authors identify for making individuals accountable for human rights atrocities."--W. M. Reisman, Wesley N. Hohfeld Professor of Jurisprudence, Yale Law School, and former President, Inter-American Commission on Human Rights
"This excellent book provides a thoroughly researched and eloquently written survey of the legal and policy framework within which these and other complex issues may be examined. It combines scholarly erudition with a practical sense and thus provides a valuable instrument for the pursuit of international justice. It is indispensable reading for students, practitioners, scholars and others interested in accountability for gross human rights abuses."--The American Journal of International Law
Product Description
More than fifty years after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, nations still struggle with the necessity of holding individuals accountable for human rights violations. This book offers an unprecedented progress report on this crucial enterprise. After examining the scope of international crime, the mechanisms created by states for enforcing laws, and the practical difficulties of applying such laws, the authors conclude their comprehensive study with an important assessment of the future of accountability. In this new edition the authors also cover recent developments such as the jurisprudence of the UN's Yugoslavia and Rwanda tribunals, new domestic attempts at accountability, and the International Criminal Court.
