商品簡介
Having been involved as a lawyer with genocide prosecutions concern Cambodia, Bosnia, and Rwanda, Quigley (Ohio State U.) uses those cases as a framework within which to explore such issues as the legal environment, genocidal intent, the victims, the scale, techniques, genocide by a state, and whether genocide is in fact a useful legal category at all. Sometimes he argues for a particular possible reading of the Genocide Convention, and sometimes is so overwhelmed by the complexity that he defers interpretation to a future judge.
