Paths to International Justice : Social and Legal Perspectives Hardback
Edited by Marie-Benedicte (Dr, University of Sussex) Dembour, Tobias (University of Edinburgh) Kelly
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Law and Society series
Hardback
Description
This volume focuses on the everyday social relationships through which international justice is produced.
Using case studies from the International Criminal Court, the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Women's Convention Committee and elsewhere, it explores international justice as a process that takes place at the intersection of the often contradictory practices of applicants, lawyers, bureaucrats, victims, accused and others.
With a sensitivity to broader institutional and political inequalities, the contributors ask how and why international justice is mobilised, understood and abandoned by concrete social actors, and to what effect.
An attention to the different voices that feed into international justice is essential if we are to understand its potentials and limitations in the midst of social conflict or full blown political violence.
