Recenzii
Professor Gregory Gordon's paradigm-shifting work, Atrocity Speech Law: Foundation, Fragmentation, Fruition has helped change the very vocabulary we use to describe the rules and jurisprudence governing the relationship between hate speech and core international crimes, which is now commonly referred to by the book's title. Thanks to this seminal tome, we no longer have to think of delicts such as "incitement", "persecution", "instigation", and "ordering" as disparate speech offences whose elements should not be considered with regard to one another; rather, under Gordon's brilliant umbrella term and his suggested corrections for each offence, we can regard them in a unified, systematic way that will lead to more coordinated and coherent charging decisions, greater protection for legitimate free speech, and clearer jurisprudence.
Atrocity Speech Law furthers a complicated discussion at a time when it is sorely needed.
This book will be the definitive source on prosecuting atrocity speech in international criminal law. With its thorough research and insightful analysis, practitioners and scholars alike will find it an essential reference. Professor Gordon's unified theory of liability is thought-provoking and should be given serious consideration in future criminal proceedings.
As Professor Gregory Gordon systematically demonstrates in this groundbreaking book, the law governing speech and atrocity has become fragmented and ineffective. His brilliant 'Unified Liability Theory' offers an innovative solution for fixing the problems. This book is now the definitive single-volume international criminal law work on hate speech. It provides all the history, context, policy, and legal analysis necessary to understand the phenomenon and reform the doctrine.
Words, text, rhyme, song: speech brings beauty, but it also fuels rage. Speech may prime a population to kill. Gregory Gordon's ambitious book reassesses the role of law in standing up to atrocity speech. Gordon astutely identifies gaps in the law and boldly suggests reforms. Delivered with elegance and panache, this book is a must read. And it is so timely. Atrocity speech - vented now in virtual spaces and through social media, and confabulated as 'news' - has become more dangerous as it spreads even faster and stains more people more quickly. In response, we are fortunate to be able to invoke Gordon's creative, confident, and ethical voice.
Professor Gregory Gordon's book, Atrocity Speech Law: Foundation, Fragmentation, Fruition, is an important contribution that will serve as a foundation stone for the future prevention of crimes against humanity...[It] will be a very useful tool to all scholars seeking a more peaceful world...[It] will offer new knowledge about a vital subject of stopping atrocity speech, which threatens the security of everyone. (From the Foreword)
Holistic, authoritative and comprehensive, Professor Gregory Gordon's masterful study of the relationship between expression and atrocity crimes sets out a framework for a delicate balance of competing objectives. It brings order to an area of international law that is fraught with fragmentation and contradiction.
Gregory Gordon has written the definitive book on the power of words and the commission of atrocity crimes. This comprehensive and superbly written study critiquing tribunal jurisprudence on 'atrocity speech law' explains not only what has been adjudicated in the modern era, but also identifies the significant shortcomings in both the jurisprudence and international law that must be overcome in the years ahead. There is much work yet to be done, and Professor Gordon sets the stage magnificently.
Professor Gregory Gordon compellingly argues that we need to re-conceptualize the jurisprudence of the international criminal law governing hate speech. He renames these principles 'atrocity speech law' and offers a trenchant critique of the inconsistent rulings of international tribunals. He proposes a resolution to the resulting conceptual uncertainties through a 'unified liability theory' that would harmonize the law on hate speech related to war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. For those interested in effective prevention and punishment, this is a must read.
Atrocity Speech Law, examines the history of and jurisprudence governing the relationship between hate speech and international crimes. Gordon finds troubling incoherence within this area of the law but proposes an innovative solution: a "Unified Liability Theory" that would link all qualifying speech offenses to all atrocity crimes.
... groundbreaking study on the law governing the relationship between hate speech and international crimes.
