Law, War and Crime Quotes

“that international law produces a form of displaced politics or conducts politics in a different key. I call this juridified diplomacy (chapter 6): the phenomenon by which conflict about the purpose and shape of international political life (as well as specific disputes in this realm) is translated into legal doctrine or resolved in legal institutions. War crimes trials are one of the institutional manifestations of this phenomenon.”
― Gerry J Simpson, Law, War and Crime: War Crimes, Trials and the Reinvention of International Law
