Product Code:	1-59558-071-9
Description:	By Geoffrey Robertson
Product Detail:	The 20th century saw 160 million lives wasted by war, genocide, and torture; at the same time, the worldwide human rights movement gained popular and political strength. Weaving together disparate strands of history, philosophy, international law and politics, Crimes Against Humanity is “a superb history of human rights. . .explain(ing) the history of war and terror throughout the centuries” (The Baltimore Sun). Geoffrey Robertson, one of the world’s leading human rights lawyers, reveals with great passion and precision how an identification of the crime against humanity, first defined at Nuremberg, has become the key that unlocks the closed door of state sovereignty, enabling the international community to bring tyrants and torturers to heel. This newly revised and updated edition features a critical perspective on recent events, including the invasion of Iraq, the abuses at Abu Ghraib, the killings in Darfur, the death of Milosevic, and the trial of Saddam Hussein
