Description

This collection of essays presents a contextual view of genocide.

The authors, who are academic authorities and practitioners in the field, explore the legal treatment, but also the social and political concepts and historical dimensions of the crime.

They also suggest alternative justice solutions to the phenomenon of genocide. Divided into five parts, the first section offers an historical perspective of genocide.

The second consists of case studies examining recent atrocities.

The third section examines differences between legal and social concepts of genocide.

Part four discusses the treatment of genocide in courts and tribunals throughout the world.

The final section covers alternatives to trial justice and questions of prevention and sentencing.
