Summary |
"In spite of the Geneva and The Hague Conventions of the late nineteenth century, the twentieth century has been a century of massacres and genocides: the massacres due to European colonialism and two World Wars, the Holocaust, the Armenian and the Rwanda genocides, the casualties caused by the Communist utopias in the USSR, China and Cambodia, and numerous civil wars." "This unique volume offers the reader an overview of the various models which are emerging to ensure that criminal leaders and their collaborators are made accountable for their schemes and actions, and clearly illustrates how national, international, and mixed national/international tribunals are slowly eroding the impunity of criminal readers."--BOOK JACKET |
