East West Street by Philippe Sands
“Despite their common origins, and the shared desire for an effective approach, Lauterpacht and Lemkin were sharply divided as to the solutions they proposed to a big question: How could the law help to prevent mass killing? Protect the individual, says Lauterpacht. Protect the group, says Lemkin.”
Philippe Sands

Quotes by Charles R. Wolfe  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It is premised on the successes of the unpredictable, disjointed and overlapping, rather than the prescriptive or planned.”
Charles R. Wolfe, Urbanism Without Effort

“Experts may help assemble data, specialists may organize it, professionals may offer theories to explain it. But none of these can substitute for each person’s own leap into the dark, jumping in to draw his or her own conclusions.”
Charles R. Wolfe, Urbanism Without Effort

“Despite their common origins, and the shared desire for an effective approach, Lauterpacht and Lemkin were sharply divided as to the solutions they proposed to a big question: How could the law help to prevent mass killing? Protect the individual, says Lauterpacht. Protect the group, says Lemkin.”
Philippe Sands, East West Street: On the Origins of "Genocide" and "Crimes Against Humanity"
