Fifty years after the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, nations around the world are grappling with the need to hold individuals accountable for human rights atrocities. This new edition offers an unprecedented comprehensive appraisal of the prospects of this enterprise. The authors examine the scope of international crime, the mechanisms created by states for enforcing the law, and the practical difficulties of applying them, and conclude with an assessment of the future of accountability. The book also covers recent developments such as the jurisprudence of the UN's Yugoslavia and Rwanda tribunals, new domestic attempts at accountability, and the International Criminal Court. This new edition has been revised and updated to include developments since 1997, including domestic prosecutions and truth commission, the work of the UN's Yugoslavia and Rwand Tribunals, and the International Criminal Court.
