The Justice Dilemma
2020
Overview
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.
