Crimes of War: Iraq
Editat de Richard Falk, Irene Gendzier, Robert Jay Liftonen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 apr 2006
Crimes
of
War—Iraq
provides
a
comprehensive
legal,
historical,
and
psychological
exploration
of
the
war
in
Iraq
from
the
same
editorial
team
whose
1971
Crimes
of
War
was
a
landmark
book
about
Vietnam
and
the
revelation
of
American
war
crimes.
The
editors
apply
standards
of
international
criminal
law,
as
set
forth
at
Nuremberg
after
World
War
II,
and
by
subsequent
developments
regarding
individual
responsibility
and
accountability.
These
principles
have
to
do
with
the
waging
of
aggressive
war,
attacks
on
civilian
centers
of
population,
rights
of
resistance
against
an
illegal
occupation,
and
the
abuse
of
prisoners.
Explorations
of
psychology
and
human
behavior
include
levels
of
motivation
and
response
in
connection
with
torture
at
Abu
Ghraib;
the
phenomenon
of
the
atrocity-producing
situation
in
both
Vietnam
and
Iraq
(in
which
counter-insurgency,
military
policies,
and
angry
grief
could
cause
ordinary
people
to
participate
in
atrocities);
the
behavior
of
doctors
and
medics
in
colluding
in
torture
at
Abu
Ghraib;
emerging
testimony
of
American
veterans
of
Iraq
concerning
the
confusions
of
the
mission,
and
the
widespread
killing
of
civilians;
and
accounts
of
broadening
unease
and
psychological
disturbance
among
men
and
women
engaged
in
combat.
