International Justice in Rwanda and the Balkans
Today's international war crimes tribunals lack police powers, and therefore must prod and persuade defiant states to co-operate in the arrest and prosecution of their own political and military leaders. Victor Peskin's comparative study traces the development of the capacity to build the political authority necessary to exact compliance from states implicated in war crimes and genocide in the cases of the International War Crimes Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda. Drawing on 300 in-depth interviews with tribunal officials, Balkan and Rwandan politicians, and Western diplomats, Peskin uncovers the politicized, protracted, and largely behind-the-scenes tribunal-state struggle over co-operation.

The Politics of Genocide
Beginning with the negotiations that concluded with the unanimous
adoption of the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and
Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on December 9, 1948, and
extending to the present day, the United States, Soviet
Union/Russia, China, United Kingdom, and France have put forth
great effort to ensure that they will not be implicated in the
crime of genocide. If this were to fail, they have also ensured
that holding any of them accountable for genocide will be
practically impossible. By situating genocide prevention in a
system of territorial jurisdiction; by excluding protection for
political groups and acts constituting cultural genocide from the
Genocide Convention; by controlling when genocide is meaningfully
named at the Security Council; and by pointing the responsibility
to protect in directions away from any of the P-5, they have
achieved what can only be described as practical impunity for
genocide. 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.\"

The Cambridge companion to the International Court of Justice
\"As international law has become more present in global policy-making, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has come to occupy an essential and increasingly visible role in international relations. This collection explores substantive developments within the ICJ and offers critical perspectives on its historical and contemporary role. It also examines the growing role of the ICJ in the settlement of international disputes and assesses the impact of the ICJ's jurisprudence on the major areas of international law, from the territorial delimitation to human rights. With contributions from a diverse range of scholars and practitioners, the collection's contents combine a legal perspective with institutional and sociological insights on the functions of the ICJ. By considering the ICJ's character, jurisdiction, and effectiveness, this collection offers a varied and holistic account of the ICJ, an institution whose significance and influence only increase by the day\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Justice Dilemma
Abusive leaders are now held accountable for their crimes in a
way that was unimaginable just a few decades ago. What are the
consequences of this recent push for international justice? In
The Justice Dilemma , Daniel Krcmaric explains why the
\"golden parachute\" of exile is no longer an attractive retirement
option for oppressive rulers. He argues that this is both a
blessing and a curse: leaders culpable for atrocity crimes fight
longer civil wars because they lack good exit options, but the
threat of international prosecution deters some leaders from
committing atrocities in the first place. The Justice
Dilemma therefore diagnoses an inherent tension between
conflict resolution and atrocity prevention, two of the signature
goals of the international community.
Krcmaric also sheds light on several important puzzles in world
politics. Why do some rulers choose to fight until they are killed
or captured? Why not simply save oneself by going into exile? Why
do some civil conflicts last so much longer than others? Why has
state-sponsored violence against civilians fallen in recent
years?
While exploring these questions, Krcmaric marshals statistical
evidence on patterns of exile, civil war duration, and mass
atrocity onset. He also reconstructs the decision-making processes
of embattled leaders-including Muammar Gaddafi of Libya, Charles
Taylor of Liberia, and Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso-to show how
contemporary international justice both deters atrocities and
prolongs conflicts.
