This hook examines the position of contextual elements as a constitutive element
of the legal definition ol the crime ol genocide, and determines the extent to which
an individual genocidaire is required to act within a particular gcnocidal context.
Unlike other hooks in the I ield ol the study ol the crime ol genocide, this hook captures
the nuance and the complex issues ol the debate hy providing a book length compre
hensiveexamination ot the position ol contextual elements in light ol the evolution ol
genocide as a concept and the literal legal definition of the crime ol genocide, which
expressly characterized the crime with only the existence ol an individualistic intent
to destroy a group.
With scholars ol international criminal law, students, researchers, practitioners in
the field, and international criminal tribunals in mind, the author tackles mam ol
i
the issues raised on the position ol contextual elements in both academic literature
and judicial decisions.
