Jeffrey S Bachman

The Politics of Genocide

From the Genocide Convention to the Responsibility to Protect

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Since the adoption of the Genocide Convention in 1948 and through the present day, the United Nations' P-5 have ensured that holding any of them accountable for genocide would be practically impossible. The Politics of Genocide is the first book to explicitly demonstrate how the permanent member nations have exploited the Genocide Convention to isolate themselves from the reach of the law, marking them as "outlaw states."
