Earlier this year, the Praemium Erasmianum Foundation bestowed its annual award—the Erasmus Prize—on Benjamin Ferencz and Antonio Cassese, two pioneers in the field of international law. Ferencz, a leading American prosecutor, author, and lecturer, was present at the American war crimes trials in Dachau and was the chief prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen trials in Nuremburg. Like Ferencz, Cassese was a key figure in the development of international criminal law, serving as the first president of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and president of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, and chairman of the UN Commission of Inquiry into Violation of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law in Darfur. Cassese is currently the president of the Special Court for Lebanon.

In The Prosecutor and the Judge, Heikelina Verrijn Stuart and Marlise Simons provide in-depth, revealing interviews with these two advocates of international law. Supplementing the interviews are several key articles written by Ferencz and Cassese that highlight the two men’s achievements and set the development of international law in context.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[The book] is a fitting tribute to two people who can be said to personify . . . the discipline of international criminal law. . . . What comes across in the interviews with both of these doyens of the subject is the human side of international criminal law. It is often asked if international criminal law offers 'humanity's justice.' What this much deserved tribute to two of the greats of international law provides is that whether or not international criminal law is humanity's justice, it is also human justice, with all the pros and cons that entails." -- Robert Cryer ― Journal of Conflict and Security Law

Youngest Jewish lawyer at the Nurenberg trials

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book was a gift , but I had read a little of this lawyers history and I watched a documentary about him at the Nurenberg Trials as the youngest Jewish lawyer to prosecute German prison guards and others who committed the most atrocious crimes against men / women and children

Sorry, there was a problem.
