Prosecuting War Crimes and Genocide
University Press of Kansas (Verlag)
978-0-7006-3672-3 (ISBN)
The book also analyzes the reluctance of the United States to sanction the ICC, tracing longstanding U.S. reluctance to grant criminal justice jurisdiction to an international prosecutor. Ball examines questions of national sovereignty versus international law and reminds us that although most Americans consider such horrors to be problems of other countries, these are in fact countries in which many of our own citizens have their roots.
With its unique focus on the ICC, Prosecuting War Crimes and Genocide is a work of both synthesis and advocacy that combines history and current events to make us more aware of the racist fervor with which these brutalities are carried out, more alert to the euphemisms in which they are cloaked. It forces us to ask not only whether the killing will stop, but whether humanity can prevent future genocides.
Howard Ball is professor of political science and university scholar at the University of Vermont. A former civil rights worker in Mississippi, he is the author of twenty previous books, including A Defiant Life: Thurgood Marshall and the Persistence of Racism in America; Hugo Black: Cold Steel Warrior; and Justice Downwind: America's Atomic Testing Program in the 1950s.
