Accountability for Human Rights Atrocities in International Law : Beyond the Nuremberg Legacy

by Steven R. Ratner, Jason S. Abrams

More than fifty years after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, nations still struggle with the necessity of holding individuals accountable for human rights violations. This book offers an unprecedented progress report on this crucial enterprise. After examining the scope of international crime,
the mechanisms created by states for enforcing laws, and the practical difficulties of applying such laws, the authors conclude their comprehensive study with an important assessment of the future of accountability. In this new edition the authors also cover recent developments such as the
jurisprudence of the UN's Yugoslavia and Rwanda tribunals, new domestic attempts at accountability, and the International Criminal Court.

[jordan]

not thoughtful at all. poorly constructed, half-hearted solutions throughout. oddly, one would think the writers’ pedigree would yield more rational and well-rounded conclusions. unfortunately, this book meanders around a general theme like a broken doe searching for beaten dew. 1 star.

Aku pernah menerjemahkan buku ini ke bahasa Indonesia. Standar bahasa hukum, panjang, berliku-liku dan penuh terminologi. Tapi isinya menarik, antara lain membahas tentang definisi kejahatan perang, pelanggaran HAM berat dan genosida.
