"Weaving together disparate strands of history, philosophy, international law, and politics, Crimes Against Humanity is 'a superb history of human rights... Explaining the history of war and terror throughout the centuries' (The Baltimore Sun). Geoffrey Robertson, one of the world's leading human rights lawyers, reveals with great passion and precision how an identification of the crime against humanity, first deined at Nuremburg, has become the key that unlocks the closed door of state sovereignty, enabling the internationals community to bring tyrants and torturers to heel".

Synopsis

A revised and updated edition of Geoffrey Robertson's impassioned, authoritative guide to an issue of massive global importance. He tells the dramatic story of how the human rights idea has come to dominate world politics. He reveals how human rights has penetrated the legal armour of the sovereign State. He sets out, without legal jargon, the rights of humankind in the 21st Century. And he predicts what this movement has in store - not only for tyrants and torturers, but also for the superpowers who still resist the demands for universal justice.
