Law, Politics and the Limits of Prosecuting Mass Atrocity: Human Rights Interventions

Autor Damien Rogers
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 sep 2017
This book offers a unique and powerful critique of the quest for international criminal justice. It explores the efforts of three successive generations of international prosecutors, recognising the vital roles they play in the enforcement of international criminal law. By critically examining prosecutorial performance during the pre-trial and trial phases, the volume argues that these prosecutors are simultaneously political actors serving in the interests of economic liberalisation. It also posits that international prosecutors help wage a mostly silent and largely unacknowledged politico-cultural war fought for control over the institutions governing modernist international affairs. As the author contends, international prosecutors are thus best understood as agents not only of the law and politics, but also of a war fought by proponents of various utopian projects.

Recenzii

“Examining prosecutors’ work through the lens of critical thinking can be regarded as a novel and ambitious choice of methodology, and can certainly be of interest to discourse analysis scholars and specialists on international relations and conflict studies.” (Galina Nelaeva and Elena Khabarova, Leiden Journal of International Law, Vol. 32 (2), June 2019)

Caracteristici

Offers an entirely new way of comprehending the conduct of those whose job it is to prosecute the most serious of international crimes Argues that law is a form of politics, and that both ICL enforcement and the politics of economic liberalisation are a means of waging politico-cultural war Highlights the complicity between the production of scholarly knowledge in academia and the support for the international prosecutor’s work
