| Zusammenfassung: | Could the prevailing view that genocide is the ultimate crime be wrong? Is it possible that it is actually on an equal footing with war crimes and crimes against humanity? Is the power of the word genocide derived from something other than jurisprudence? And why should a hierarchical abstraction assume such importance in conferring meaning on suffering and injustice? Could reducing a reality that is beyond reason and words into a fixed category undermine the very progress and justice that such labelling purports to achieve? For some, these questions may border on the international law equivalent of blasphemy. This original and daring book, written by a renowned scholar and practitioner who was the first Legal Advisor to the UN Prosecutor at The Hague, is a probing reflection on empathy and our faith in global justice. Features: -- Reflections from one of the first UN war crimes prosecutors, who is also a recognised scholar and practitioner -- Goes beyond conventional treatises on the law of genocide that remain oblivious to how jurisprudence is profoundly shaped by human emotion and the limits of language as a medium for capturing such realities -- Daring and penetrating treatment of a taboo subject that contributes to a better understanding of how we confront radical evil and suffering Payam Akhavan is Professor of International Law at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.-- Publisher's note. |
