Product Description
This book rethinks how people who perpetrate atrocity crimes should be punished. Based on an 'on the ground' review of the sentencing of perpetrators of genocide and crimes against humanity in Rwanda, Bosnia, East Timor, and other places afflicted by atrocity, this book concludes that the international community's preference for prosecution and imprisonment may not be as effective as we hope. Instead, this book calls for a broader-based response to atrocity that welcomes bottom-up perspectives, including restorative, reparative, and reintegrative traditions, that may differ from the adversarial Western criminal trial. The time has come for international criminal law as a discipline to move beyond nascence and to welcome a more challenging stage: that of re-appraisal and self-improvement.
Book Description
Examining the sentencing procedures internationally, domestically, and locally, this book examines how people who commit atrocities should be treated in regards to international law. Looking at Rwanda, Uganda, East Timor, and others, Dr. Drumbl examines the ways that international law is or is not carried out in international settings.
