The Politics of War Crimes Tribunals
Paperback
Publication Date: 15/01/2002
International justice has become a crucial part of the ongoing political debates about the future of shattered societies such as Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, Cambodia and Chile. Why do our governments sometimes display such striking idealism in the face of war crimes and atrocities abroad, and at other times cynically abandon the pursuit of international justice altogether? In this book, the author offers an unprecedented look at the politics behind international war crimes tribunals, combining analysis with investigative reporting and a broad historical perspective. The Nuremberg trials powerfully demonstrated how effective war crimes tribunals can be. But there have been many other important tribunals that have not been as successful and which have been largely left out of today's debates about international justice. This book brings them in, using primary documents to examine the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, World War I, the Armenian genocide, World War II and the wars in the former Yugoslavia. The author explains that bringing war criminals to justice can be a military ordeal, a source of endless legal frustration, as well as a diplomatic nightmare.
