Law against genocide

"In this book, discussion of theoretical debates and development surrounding humanitarian and human rights law is anchored in studies of four trials: two at the international Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the London trial of Andrei Sawoniuk in 1999 for crimes during the Holocaust, and the David Irving libel case." "The author makes a case for seeing these trials as part of an emergent 'cosmopolitan' criminal law, and takes on critics of this school of thought who see it as either idealistic or culturally imperialistic." "The book will appeal to students and scholars in international law and criminology, law and social theory, politics and sociology of globalisation, social identities, racism, social and political theory and social memory, international relations and philosophy, genocide and Holocaust studies."--BOOK JACKET.
