Description

War Crimes and War Crime Trials: From Leipzig to the ICC and Beyond: Cases, Materials and Comments John C. Watkins, Jr. ISBN 9780890893074

War Crimes and War Crime Trials serves both as a casebook of landmark war crimes decisions from national and international tribunals of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries and as a concise historical account of the geopolitical, diplomatic, and military events surrounding them. Organized chronologically into six parts, the text begins with the Hague Peace Conferences of 1899 and 1907 and extends through the Summer 2004 U.S. Supreme Court decisions addressing transnational terrorism by U.S. citizens and the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay under the Bush Administration.

The book features edited excerpts from forty-four judicial opinions, complemented by an array of international, national, military, and political documents that provide essential context for understanding the case law. Extensive selections from key materials surrounding war crimes litigation are included. Additional resources enhance its utility: an epilogue by Michael Ignatieff, an eleven-entry appendix, a glossary of over 200 terms, a reference section with more than 1,400 citations spanning legal, historical, and international relations sources, and a comprehensive name and subject index.
