大屠杀工业:对剥削犹太人苦难的反思/The Holocaust Industry: Reflections on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering (2nd ed. 2003 new Postscript & Appendix) 芬克尔斯坦 Verso Books, 2013

在一篇颠覆传统且极具争议的研究中,诺曼·芬克尔斯坦从审视大屠杀在美国文化中占据的特殊地位出发,进而对近期的大屠杀赔偿协议展开令人不安的剖析。直到1967年阿以战争期间,以色列显赫的实力使其与美国外交政策保持一致,大屠杀的记忆才开始获得今日享有的非凡地位。美国犹太社区领袖欣喜于以色列被视为重要战略资产,并据芬克尔斯坦所言,他们利用大屠杀来巩固这一新地位。此后他们对这场悲剧的诠释常与实际历史事件相悖,并被用来抵御对以色列及其支持者的任何批评。芬克尔斯坦援引耶日·科辛斯基、本雅明·维尔科米尔斯基等大屠杀欺诈者,以及丹尼尔·戈德哈根等作家的煽动性论述,指出纳粹受害者记忆面临的主要威胁并非来自否认大屠杀者的歪曲,而是来自那些自诩为大屠杀记忆守护者的显赫人士。他援引大量未被发掘的资料,揭露了欧洲各国及合法犹太索赔人遭受的双重敲诈,并断言大屠杀产业已沦为赤裸裸的勒索勾当。这部研究严谨、论证缜密的著作之所以令人不安且震撼,恰因其探讨的议题鲜少被公开讨论。在这部畅销书的震撼性新后记中,诺曼·芬克尔斯坦揭露了大屠杀产业掩盖瑞士银行敲诈丑闻的丑闻,并在新增附录中彻底驳斥了为大屠杀产业辩护的权威论述。

Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities : Terribly and Terrifyingly Normal? Alette Smeulers Routledge, 2024

The 9/11 attacks, as well as the ones in Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels; the genocides in Nazi Germany, Rwanda and Cambodia; the torture in dictatorial regimes; the wars in former Yugoslavia, Syria and Iraq and currently in Ukraine; the sexual violence during periods of conflict, all make us wonder: why would anyone do something like that? Who are these people? Drawing on 30 years of research, in this book Alette Smeulers explores the perpetrators of mass atrocities such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and terrorism. Examining questions of why people kill and torture and how mass atrocities can be explained, Smeulers presents a typology of perpetrators, with different ranks, roles and motives.Devoting one chapter to each type of perpetrator, the book combines insights from academic research with illustrative case studies of well-known perpetrators, from dictators to middlemen, to lower ranking officials and terrorists. Their stories are explored in depth as the book examines their behaviour and motivation. Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities thus provides a comprehensive understanding of the causes of extreme mass violence. Such knowledge not only can help the international criminal justice system to be able to attribute blame in a fairer way but can also assist in preventing such atrocities being committed on the current scale.Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities is essential reading for all those interested in war crimes, genocide, terrorism and mass violence

zlib/no-category/Sanya Karakas/Framing Impunity in the Context of State Crime: A Study of Turkish State Criminality Against Kurds (1990–2000)_118682723.pdf

Framing Impunity in the Context of State Crime : A Study of Turkish State Criminality Against Kurds (1990- 2000) Sanya Karakas Routledge, 2025

This book introduces a new conceptual framework for impunity within state crime theory and uses Turkish state criminality against Kurds between 1990 and 2000 as a case study. It develops an understanding of impunity that goes beyond viewing the state solely as an actor, facilitator, or denier of crime. It argues for an expanded definition of state crime to encompass criminal acts and processes undertaken by states, including impunity.Building on field research, case analysis, and interviews, this book digs deep into the mechanics of impunity and ways in which the Turkish state has evaded punishment for its criminal acts. In doing so, Framing Impunity in the Context of State Crime uncovers a close connection between the crimes of the government and the impunity which allowed those crimes to flourish. It demonstrates that state violence and impunity are endemic in the structural design of the Turkish state and serve to further both the state goals of ethnic and religious assimilation and the subsequent persecution of those who refused to be assimilated into the new state construction. The book uses Stanley Cohen's work on states of denial techniques to examine how states justify their illegal acts in order to deny and/or to evade responsibility for their crimes. Cohen's work on denial at the organisational level is central to the question of impunity because, as a form of state crime, impunity involves various state institutions or actors representing the very state machinery deployed to conceal and deny state criminality.An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to law students, scholars, researchers, NGOs, and civil society organisations. It will have broader applicability beyond the case study of Turkey and will be valuable to academics and policymakers worldwide who focus on the intersection of state crime and impunity.

Resilience, Conflict-Related Sexual Violence and Transitional Justice : A Social-Ecological Framing Janine Natalya Clark Routledge, Erscheinungsort nicht ermittelbar, 2023

This interdisciplinary book constitutes the first major and comparative study of resilience focused on victims-/survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV). Locating resilience in the relationships and interactions between individuals and their social ecologies (including family, community, non-governmental organisations and the natural environment), the book develops its own conceptual framework based on the idea of connectivity. It applies the framework to its analysis of rich empirical data from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Colombia and Uganda, and it tells a set of stories about resilience through the contextual, dynamic and storied connectivities between individuals and their social ecologies. Ultimately, it utilises the three elements of the framework – namely, broken and ruptured connectivities, supportive and sustaining connectivities and new connectivities – to argue the case for developing the field of transitional justice in new social-ecological directions, and to explore what this might conceptually and practically entail. The book will particularly appeal to anyone with an interest in, or curiosity about, resilience, and to scholars, researchers and policy makers working on CRSV and/or transitional justice. The fact that resilience has received surprisingly little attention within existing literature on either CRSV or transitional justice accentuates the significance of this research and the originality of its conceptual and empirical contributions.

lgli/Reparations by Non-State Armed Groups Under International Law From Conflict to Repair in Colombia and Beyond (ISSN) [3943759].pdf

Reparations by Non-State Armed Groups under International Law: From Conflict to Repair in Colombia and Beyond (Transitional Justice) Olivia Herman Routledge, 1, PS, 2024

This book examines whether and how non-state armed groups might be required to provide reparations for the harm caused by their violations of international law committed during situations of non-international armed conflict. Most of today’s armed conflicts are waged between states and non-state armed groups or between such groups. Societies ravaged by these conflicts endure extensive harm resulting from violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law. This reality prompts a series of pressing questions. Akin to states, should non-state armed groups be held responsible for making reparation when violating international law? And if so, what measures can these groups take to repair the harm they have caused? The book begins by clarifying if there exists, in contemporary international law, a duty for armed groups to provide reparation. It considers whether non-state armed groups have primary international obligations as distinct duty bearers, and whether reparation can be one of the legal consequences when violating these obligations. Subsequently, the book sheds new light on how non-state armed groups’ duty of reparation can be operationalised in international law. This involves elucidating both the conceptualisation and practical application of this duty. Combining this legal analysis with practical perspectives, the book unveils important insights for international law, drawn from an in-depth analysis of Colombia’s experiences with reparations by armed groups in the context of transitional justice. This book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners working in the fields of international law related to armed conflict, accountability and redress, and transitional justice more broadly.

zlib/Society, Politics & Philosophy/Government & Politics/William Stevenson/The Bormann Brotherhood_26999478.epub

The Bormann Brotherhood William Stevenson Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated, Simon & Schuster, New York, NY, 2019

While the flames of World War II still raged, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin issued a warning to the Nazi leaders. Those responsible for the torture and murder of millions of innocent and defenseless civilians were promised that "... the three Allied Powers will pursue them to the furthest corners of the earth and deliver them to their judges so that justice may be done." That promise was not kept. Justice was not done. In 1945, twelve of the most notorious Nazis were tried for crimes against humanity and sentenced to death by the International Military Tribunal convened at Nuremberg. (Martin Bormann, his whereabouts unknown, had been tried and convicted in absentia.) Subsequent war-crimes trials ended in the conviction of other offenders. But the majority of the torturers and murderers escaped, found sanctuary, and continued to work effectively toward the concept of eventual world domination. Nazism did not die at Nuremberg. This survival and resurgence was the result of a plan for the creation of a "brotherhood" initiated long before the end of the war by the least visible and most powerful of the Nazi war lords—Martin Bormann. The Brotherhood, backed by virtually unlimited funds, established "safe" houses inside Germany, escape routes to other countries and continents, and an extensive international group of industrial firms as financial reservoirs and as "fronts" for escaped Nazis. This chronicle, based upon independent investigation, including numerous exclusive interviews and the examination of declassified and revealing documents, casts a new light upon Bormann, his strange role in the Third Reich, and his devastating influence, which cuts mercilessly into our present. This is essential reading, as fascinating as it is meaningful.

the Pogroms Avrutin, Eugene M.; Bemporad, Elissa IRL Press at Oxford University Press, 2022

From the 1880s to the 1940s, an upsurge of explosive pogroms caused much pain and suffering across the eastern borderlands of Europe. Rioters attacked Jewish property and caused physical harm to women and children. During World War I and the Russian Civil War, pogrom violence turned into full-blown military actions. In some cases, pogroms wiped out of existence entire Jewish communities. More generally, they were part of a larger story of destruction, ethnic purification, and coexistence that played out in the region over a span of some six decades. Pogroms: A Documentary History surveys the complex history of anti-Jewish violence by bringing together archival and published sources--many appearing for the first time in English translation. The documents assembled here include eyewitness testimony, oral histories, diary excerpts, literary works, trial records, and press coverage. They also include memos and field reports authored by army officials, investigative commissions, humanitarian organizations, and government officials. This landmark volume and its distinguished roster of scholars provides an unprecedented view of the history of pogroms.

Rwanda Since 1994 : Stories of Change Hannah Grayson; Nicki Hitchcott; Society for Francophone Postcolonial Studies Liverpool: Liverpool University Press, Liverpool University Press / Books, Liverpool, 2019

"Over the past 25 years, Rwanda has undergone remarkable shifts and transitions: culturally, economically, and educationally the country has gone from strength to strength. While much scholarship has understandably been retrospective, seeking to understand, document and commemorate the Genocide against the Tutsi, this volume gathers diverse perspectives on the changing social and cultural fabric of Rwanda since 1994. Rwanda Since 1994 considers the context of these changes, particularly in relation to the ongoing importance of remembering and in wider developments in the Great Lakes and East Africa regions. Equally it explores what stories of change are emerging from Rwanda: creative writing and testimonies, as well as national, regional, and international political narratives. The contributors interrogate which frameworks and narratives might be most useful for understanding different kinds of change, what new directions are emerging, and how Rwanda's trajectory is shaped by other global factors. The international set of contributors includes creative writers, practitioners, activists, and scholars from African studies, history, anthropology, education, international relations, modern languages, law and politics. As well as delving into the shifting dynamics of religion and gender in Rwanda today, the book brings to light the experiences of lesser-discussed groups of people such as the Twa and the children of perpetrators." -- Provided by publisher

The Bodies in Person : An Account of Civilian Casualties in American Wars Nick McDonell Penguin Publishing Group, Penguin Random House LLC, [N.p.], 2018

Since the beginning of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, uncounted thousands of civilians have died in the fighting and as a result of the destruction. These are deaths for which no one assumes responsibility and which have been presented, historically, as fallout. No one knows their true number. In The Bodies in Person, Nick McDonell introduces us to some of the civilians who died, along with the rescue workers who tried to save them, U.S. soldiers grappling with their deaths, and everyone in between. He shows us how decent Americans, inside and outside the government and military, looked away from the mounting death toll, even as they claimed to do everything in their power to prevent civilian casualties. With a novelist's eye — and hundreds of hours of recorded interviews — McDonell brings us the untold story of the innocent dead in America's ongoing wars, from leveled cities to drone operation centers to Capitol back rooms. As we follow him around the world, The Bodies in Person raises questions not only about what it means to be an American, but about the value of a life, what it means to risk one, and what is owed afterward.

lgli/Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict (The Lieber Studies Series) [3904914].pdf

Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict (The Lieber Studies Series) Sandesh Sivakumaran, Captain Christian R. Burne Oxford University Press, Incorporated, The Lieber Studies, 2024

How laws are created, shaped, and applied is a significant but often overlooked component of studies on armed conflict. Almost every contentious legal question involves aspects of law-making and shaping, be it the determination of a rule's scope of application, whether and how to regulate a “new” situation, or determining which sources and materials to take into account. As such, all who operate in this space - whether academic, practitioner, policy-maker, or legal advisor - must appreciate and understand the forces, factors, and actors which converge to make and shape the ever-developing law of armed conflict. This volume brings together several key contributors to explore this making and shaping in depth. A variety of aspects of law-making and shaping are analyzed, from the methodology behind identifying principles and rules of law, to what weight should be given to the views of particular actors, to the various forums where the law is made and shaped. It examines foundational materials of the law of armed conflict including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and considers the influence of a wide scope of actors, ranging from States, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and international courts and tribunals through to expert groups, commissions of inquiry, and non-state armed groups. This volume also asks us to broaden our gaze beyond spaces where the law is traditionally created to uncover different types of making and unmaking

The Nazis' Flight From Justice : How Hitler's Followers Attempted to Vanish Without Trace Richard Dargie; Julian Flanders Arcturus Digital Limited, Place of publication not identified, 2020

Whatever happened to the Nazis after World War II? While the Nuremberg trials saw key party members prosecuted, it was impossible to imprison every German who had supported the Third Reich. This is the story of what happened to the Nazis who escaped justice. These cases include: • The Nazis who ran away to South America and the Nazi hunters who tracked them down • 'Useful' Nazis such as Wernher von Braun who became the rocket scientists for other nations • Those who joined the popular, nostalgia-based German Veterans Associations, who loved to keep Nazi traditions alive • The story of Klaus Barbie, the infamous Butcher of Lyon, who became a paid informant to both the US and West German government This fascinating illustrated history studies how East and West Germany recovered from the rampant Nazism of the Second World War, and the individuals who slipped through the net.

War Against the Jews : How to End Hamas Barbarism Alan M. Dershowitz Hot Books, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2023

In War Against the Jews: How to End Hamas Barbarism , Alan Dershowitz—#1 New York Times bestselling author and one of America's most respected legal scholars—explains why the horrific attack of Oct 7 and Israel's just response changes everything. It has changed the relationship between Israel and the United States, especially with regard to the possibility of direct American intervention. It has required Israel to consider its nuclear option as a last resort to assure its survival. It has revealed dangerous attitudes among America's future leaders on today's college campuses toward Israel's possible destruction. It has exposed media biases that have been exacerbated with Israel's vulnerabilities. It has united Israelis and Jews around the world as never before, despite the deep divisions among them politically, religiously, and ideologically. Nothing will ever be the same. It has clouded the future of peace between Israel and its Arab and Muslim neighbors and has diminished the proposals for a peaceful resolution of the Israel-Palestinian conflict. It has made predictions about the future of the region nearly impossible, except that imposing instability is inevitable. In this short book, Dershowitz analyzes these transforming events and suggests how to move forward.

Race : Science and Politics Ruth Benedict, Margaret Mead Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 3); University of Georgia Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 3), Athens, 2019

"In science, race can be a useful concept-for specific, limited purposes. When race, as a way of classifying people, is drafted into the service of politics, religion, or any belief system, then danger follows. That is the focus of this classic repudiation of racism, which is as readable and timely now as when it first appeared. Race: Science and Politics was first published in 1940, in response to the global rise of fascism and its pseudoscientific rationales for marginalizing and even exterminating "inferior" people. Writing for a general audience, Ruth Benedict ranges across the history of Western thought and research on race to illuminate rifts between the facts of race and the claims of racism. Rather than take issue only with the Nazis and their allies, Benedict set out to show that all racist beliefs are objectively groundless-and that is the key to the book's ongoing relevance. The book's bonus content includes The Races of Mankind, a pamphlet-length distillation of the book with its own controversial role in dismantling racist theory. This edition also includes a new foreword by Judith Schachter. An anthropologist, historian, and Benedict biographer, Schachter discusses the book's importance for current readers. Also included is a foreword by anthropologist Margaret Mead from 1958, a time when colonial ties around the world were unravelling and civil rights unrest was a daily occurrence in the United States"-- Provided by publisher

Flucht und Vertreibung der Deutschen : Voraussetzungen, Verlauf, Folgen Mathias Beer; Verlag C.H. Beck oHG, Verlag C.H. Beck, München, 2011

Der vom nationalsozialistischen Deutschland entfachte Zweite Weltkrieg setzte Europa in Bewegung: Soldaten und Kriegsgefangene, Emigranten und Flüchtlinge, Deportierte und Zwangsarbeiter, Evakuierte und Umsiedler, Ausgewiesene und Vertriebene. Schon während und insbesondere in der letzten Phase des Krieges war davon auch die deutsche Bevölkerung betroffen. Hinzu kamen nach der bedingungslosen Kapitulation Millionen Deutsche, die zwischen 1945 und 1950 ihre Heimat verloren. Sie wurden in das zerstörte und viergeteilte Nachkriegsdeutschland ausgewiesen und umgesiedelt, wo sie als Fremde erst nach und nach eine neue Heimat fanden. Mathias Beer geht auf die lang- und kurzfristigen Voraussetzungen für Flucht und Vertreibung ein, schildert den Verlauf der Ereignisse sowie die Folgen, welche die Bevölkerungsverschiebungen für die beiden deutschen Staaten hatten, und verfolgt die bundesdeutschen Auseinandersetzungen über Flucht und Vertreibung bis in die Gegenwart. Ein prägnanter und zuverlässiger Überblick für alle, die sich über die wichtigsten Fakten und Hintergründe dieses bis heute ebenso prägenden wie in seiner Deutung umstrittenen Kapitels deutscher Geschichte informieren wollen.

Verbrannte Erde : Stalins Herrschaft der Gewalt Jörg Baberowski Verlag C.H. Beck oHG, Verlag C.H. Beck, München, 2012

Stalins Gewaltherrschaft fielen Millionen Menschen zum Opfer. Sie verhungerten, verschwanden im'Archipel Gulag'oder wurden im Laufe der'Säuberungen'von Partei, Staatsapparat und Militär ermordet. In seinem großen, berührenden Buch entwickelt Jörg Baberowski neue Perspektiven auf die stalinistischen Verbrechen und führt den Leser hinab in die paranoide Welt des sowjetischen Diktators. Die Bolschewiki wollten eine neue Gesellschaft erschaffen und träumten vom neuen Menschen. Doch reicht es aus, auf das bolschewistische Projekt der Modernisierung zu verweisen, um die stalinistischen Gewaltexzesse zu erklären? War Stalins Terrorherrschaft eine notwendige Folge der kommunistischen Ideologie? Das bolschewistische Projekt, so die These des Buches, bot eine Rechtfertigung für den Massenmord. Aber es schrieb ihn nicht vor. Es war Stalin, ein Psychopath und passionierter Gewalttäter, der den Traum vom neuen Menschen im Blut der Millionen erstickte. Er war Urheber und Regisseur des Terrors, der erst mit seinem Tod aufhörte. Er errichtete eine Ordnung des Misstrauens und der Furcht, in der jedermann jederzeit zum Opfer werden konnte. Wer in dieser Weise den inneren Kitt einer Gesellschaft zerstört, der hinterlässt auch in den Seelen der Menschen verbrannte Erde.'Lasst, die ihr eingeht, jede Hoffnung fahren', steht über Dantes Höllentor. Dieser Satz hätte auch an den Grenzpfählen der Sowjetunion stehen können. Einige Abbildungen können aus lizenzrechtlichen Gründen leider nicht im E-Book angezeigt werden.

Transitional Justice in Aparadigmatic Contexts : Accountability, Recognition, and Disruption Tine Destrooper; Line Engbo Gissel; Kerstin Bree Carlson Taylor and Francis, Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Oxford, 2023

This book explores the practical and theoretical opportunities as well as the challenges raised by the expansion of transitional justice into new and 'aparadigmatic' cases. The book defines transitional justice as the pursuit of accountability, recognition and/or disruption and applies an actor-centric analysis focusing on justice actors' intentions of and responses to transitional justice. It offers a typology of different transitional justice contexts ranging from societies experiencing ongoing conflict to consolidated democracies, and includes chapters from all types of aparadigmatic contexts. This covers transitional justice in states with contested political authority, shared political authority, and consolidated political authority. The transitional justice initiatives explored by the wide range of contributors are those of Afghanistan, Belgium, France, Greenland/Denmark, Libya, Syria, Turkey/Kurdistan, UK/Iraq, US, and Yemen. Through these aparadigmatic case studies, the book develops a new framework that, appropriate to its expanding reach, allows us to understand the practice of transitional justice in a more context-sensitive, bottom-up, and actor-oriented way, which leaves room for the complexity and messiness of interventions on the ground. The book will appeal to scholars and practitioners in the broad field of transitional justice, as represented in law, criminology, politics, conflict studies and human rights.

Syria After the Uprisings : The Political Economy of State Resilience Daher, Joseph Haymarket Books, Lightning Source (Tier 4), London, 2019

"Syria has been at the centre of world news since 2011, following the beginnings of a popular uprising in the country and its subsequent violent repression. Eight years on, Joseph Daher analyses the resilience of the regime and the failings of the uprising, while also taking a closer look at the counter-revolutionary processes that have been undermining the uprising from without and within. Through a sharp reconstruction of the key historical developments, Daher focuses on the reasons behind the transition of a peaceful uprising into a destructive war with multiple regional and international actors. He argues that other approaches have so far neglected a global analysis of the conflict's economic, social and political characteristics. He also shows that it is impossible to understand the Syrian uprising without a historical perspective dating back to the seizure of power by Hafez al-Assad in 1970. A result of years of research and discussions with activists, students, members of political parties and Syrian academics, this book will be the go-to analysis of Syria for years to come." --Page 4 of cover.

The Order of Genocide : Race, Power, and War in Rwanda Scott Straus Cornell University Press, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 3), Ithaca, 2006

Winner of the Award for Excellence in Government and Political Science (AAP)The Rwandan genocide has become a touchstone for debates about the causes of mass violence and the responsibilities of the international community. Yet a number of key questions about this tragedy remain unanswered: How did the violence spread from community to community and so rapidly engulf the nation? Why did individuals make decisions that led them to take up machetes against their neighbors? And what was the logic that drove the campaign of extermination?According to Scott Straus, a social scientist and former journalist in East Africa for several years (who received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for his reporting for the Houston Chronicle), many of the widely held beliefs about the causes and course of genocide in Rwanda are incomplete. They focus largely on the actions of the ruling elite or the inaction of the international community. Considerably less is known about how and why elite decisions became widespread exterminatory violence.Challenging the prevailing wisdom, Straus provides substantial new evidence about local patterns of violence, using original research—including the most comprehensive surveys yet undertaken among convicted perpetrators—to assess competing theories about the causes and dynamics of the genocide. Current interpretations stress three main causes for the genocide: ethnic identity, ideology, and mass-media indoctrination (in particular the influence of hate radio). Straus's research does not deny the importance of ethnicity, but he finds that it operated more as a background condition. Instead, Straus emphasizes fear and intra-ethnic intimidation as the primary drivers of the violence. A defensive civil war and the assassination of a president created a feeling of acute insecurity. Rwanda's unusually effective state was also central, as was the country's geography and population density, which limited the number of exit options for both victims and perpetrators.In conclusion, Straus steps back from the particulars of the Rwandan genocide to offer a new, dynamic model for understanding other instances of genocide in recent history—the Holocaust, Armenia, Cambodia, the Balkans—and assessing the future likelihood of such events.

Human Game : The True Story of the 'Great Escape' Murders and the Hunt for the Gestapo Gunmen Simon Read Penguin Group US, 1, 2012

In March and April of 1944, Gestapo gunmen killed fifty POWs—a brutal act in defiance of international law and the Geneva Convention. This is the true story of the men who hunted them down.The mass breakout of seventy-six Allied airmen from the infamous Stalag Luft III became one of the greatest tales of World War II, immortalized in the film The Great Escape. But where Hollywood’s depiction fades to black, another incredible story begins . . .Not long after the escape, fifty of the recaptured airmen were taken to desolate killing fields throughout Germany and shot on the direct orders of Hitler. When the nature of these killings came to light, Churchill’s government swore to pursue justice at any cost. A revolving team of military police, led by squadron leader Francis P. McKenna, was dispatched to Germany seventeen months after the killings to pick up a trail long gone cold.Amid the chaos of postwar Germany, divided between American, British, French, and Russian occupiers, McKenna and his men brought twenty-one Gestapo killers to justice in a hunt that spanned three years and took them into the darkest realms of Nazi fanaticism.In Human Game, Simon Read tells this harrowing story as never before. Beginning inside Stalag Luft III and the Nazi High Command, through the grueling three-year manhunt, and into the final close of the case more than two decades later, Read delivers a clear-eyed and meticulously researched account of this often-overlooked saga of hard-won justice. =

Gareth Jones - Eyewitness to the Holodomor : Eyewitness to the Holodomor Professor Ray Gamache Welsh Academic Press, Ingram Publisher Services UK, Cardiff, 2018

Gareth Jones (1905-1934), the young Welsh investigative journalist, is revered in Ukraine as a national hero and is now rightly recognised as the first reporter to reveal the horror of the Holodomor, the Soviet Government-induced famine of the early 1930s, which killed millions of Ukrainians. Gareth Jones - Eyewitness to the Holodomor is a meticulous study of the efforts made by the the Aberystwyth and Cambridge-educated journalist, a fluent Russian-speaker, to investigate the Soviet Government's denials, that its Five Year Plan had led to mass starvation, by visiting Ukraine in 1933 and reporting what he saw and witnessed: 'I walked along through villages and twelve collective farms. Everywhere was the cry, "There is no bread. We are dying".' Determined to alert the world to the suffering in Ukraine and to expose Stalin's policies and prejudices towards the Ukrainian people, Jones published numerous articles in the UK (The Times, Daily Express and Western Mail) and the USA (New York Evening News and Chicago Daily News) with headlines such as 'Famine Grips Russia. Millions Dying', but soon saw his credibility and integrity attacked and denigrated by Soviet sympathizers, most famously by Moscow-based Walter Duranty of the New York Times. Gareth Jones was killed by bandits the following year, on the eve of his 30th birthday, whilst travelling in Japanese-controlled China. There remain strong suspicions that Jones' murder was arranged by the Soviets in revenge for his eyewitness reporting which brought global attention to the Holodomor.

For whom the dogs spy : Haiti : from the Duvalier dictatorships to the earthquake, four Presidents, and beyond Raymond A. Joseph New York: Arcade Publishing, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2014

When the 2010 earthquake struck Haiti, Raymond Joseph, the former Haitian ambassador to the United States, found himself rushing back to his beloved country. The earthquake ignited a passion in Joseph, inspiring him to run for president against great competition, including two well-known Haitian pop stars, his nephew Wyclef Jean and Michel Martelly. But he couldn't compete in a democratic system corrupt to the core.Joseph's insider's accounthaving served four presidentsexplores the country's unfolding democracy. He unearths the hidden stories of Haiti's cruel dictators, focusing on the tyranny of François Papa Doc” Duvalier, who used the legend of voodoo to bewitch the country into fearing him.Joseph's terrifying experiences while infiltrating the father-son regime are chilling. Threatened by Duvalier's budding gestapo-like police, Joseph sought sanctuary in America. His grueling experience in Haitian politics gave him a unique outlook on international affairs, and he excelled in his ambassadorial career in the United States.Deep personal knowledge of politics allows Joseph to speak candidly about Haitian history. Readers will be surprised at how important the country of Haiti has been in global (and especially American) history. In this decades-spanning work, he challenges common misconceptions about Haiti. The country is rarely referenced without a mention of it being the poorest in the Western Hemisphere,” a reductive label unfit for summarizing its rich history. There is no discussion around Haitian history beyond the war of independence. In For Whom the Dogs Spy, Raymond Joseph provides a compelling, modern-day look at Haiti like no other.With this book, Ambassador Raymond Joseph warns readers about Haiti's current political leaders'attempts to impose a new dictatorship. His hope is that Haiti can right itself despite the destruction it has suffered at the hands of man and nature.

lgli/War Crimes; Law, Politics, & Armed Conflict in the Modern World - Steven P. Remy.pdf

War Crimes : Law, Politics, & Armed Conflict in the Modern World Steven P. Remy Routledge, 1, 2023

This book is a concise and accessible introduction to the problem of war crimes in modern history, emphasizing the development of laws aimed at regulating the conduct of armed conflict developed from the 19th century to the present. Bringing together multiple strands of recent research in history, political science, and law, the book starts with an overview of the attempts across the pre-modern world to regulate the initiation, conduct, and outcomes of war. It then presents a survey of the legal revolution of the 19th century when, amidst a global welter of colonial wars, the first body of formal codes and laws relating to distinguishing legal from criminal conduct in war was developed. Further chapters investigate failed but influential attempts to develop the laws of war in the post-World War I period and summarize the major landmarks in international law related to war crimes, such as the Hague conventions and the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials, as well as hundreds of lesser-known post-World War II trials in Europe and Asia. It also looks at the origins and debated significance of the Genocide Convention of 1948 and the 1949 Geneva Conventions, accounts for the acceleration worldwide of war crimes investigations and trials from the 1970s into the 2000s, and summarizes current thinking about international law and the rapidly changing nature of warfare worldwide as well as the memorialization of war crimes. Including images, documents, a bibliography highlighting the most recent scholarship, a chronology, who's who, and a glossary, this is the perfect introduction for those wishing to understand the complex field or war crimes history and its politics.

Traumatic experience and repressed memory in magical realist novels : speaking the unspeakable Md Abu Shahid Abdullah, Author Cambridge Scholars Publishing, Apr 01, 2020

This book explores the close association between the literary representation of historical trauma and the alternative narrative form of magical realism, underscoring the role of memory, empathy and imagination. It discusses the potential of magical realism to give a literary representation to individual and collective trauma arising from the Holocaust, slavery, and apartheid, and to turn those unspoken memories into narratives. It also analyses the role of magical realism in depicting trauma suffered by female victims during and following those events. Again, by dealing with the above-mentioned events, their specific historical context and universal meaning for humankind, this book highlights a universal experience of trauma.

An Inconvenient Genocide : Who Now Remembers the Armenians? Geoffrey Robertson Biteback Publishing, London, 2015

With a brilliant display of forensic advocacy, one of the greatest legal minds on the international stage forces a shameful but inconvenient truth upon the world."Helena Kennedy, QC Winner Polemic of the Year, The Paddy Power Political Book Awards 2015 On April 24th, 2015 people around the world commemorated the centenary of the death of over one million Armenians. In their eyes, and in those of many around the world, they will be remembering a genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire. Turkey has always explained the dead as simply victims of a vicious civil war, and continues to this day to refuse to acknowledge the events as constituting genocide. This argument has become, in turn, an international issue. Twenty national parliaments in democratic countries have voted to recognize the genocide, but Britain and the United States continue to equivocate for fear, it would seem, of alienating their NATO ally. In this seminal book, Geoffrey Robertson QC, a former UN appeals judge, sets out to prove beyond all reasonable doubt that the massacres and deportations were a crime against humanity which amounted to genocide. **Geoffrey Robertson, QC**, is founder and head of Doughty Street Chambers, the UK’s leading human rights legal practice. A barrister, academic, author, and broadcaster, Robertson is the author of several books including __The Justice Game__ and __Mullahs Without Mercy__. He lives in London, England.

Historias de amor en campos de guerra Vanessa De La Torre Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial Colombia, Penguin Random House Grupo Editorial, S.A.U., [N.p.], 2019

**Este libro reúne cinco historias que se entrelazan de mujeres que comparten un denominador común: la guerra.** Vanessa De La Torre, una de las periodistas más destacadas del panorama actual, inició hace unos años una investigación que resultó en este libro. Historias de amor en campos de guerra reúne los testimonios de seis mujeres extraordinarias que por diversas razones terminaron siendo víctimas de un conflicto armado del que pensaron que nunca podrían librarse, y que, en medio de ese drama, vivieron intensas y memorables aventuras amorosas. De La Torre cuenta, por ejemplo, detalles de la vida de una mujer desplazada antes de llegar a convertirse en una de las cantantes de música popular más exitosas de los últimos tiempos; narra la apasionante aventura que vivió una joven junto al excomandante del M-19 Carlos Pizarro, y recrea los obstáculos que tuvo que enfrentar una exguerrillera que huyó del monte para seguir su corazón. En definitiva, todos los relatos aquí plasmados se entrelazan y, al tiempo que revelan un pasado marcado por la violencia, siembran la sensación de alivio y esperanza que dejan las verdaderas historias de amor. __"Desde los más reconocidos protagonistas de nuestra barbarie hasta los más anónimos, el amor ha cruzado por la vida de estos personajes para dotarlos de una humanidad que parecía haber sido devorada por la violencia".__ __Jorge Franco__

Unsung Heroes of the Dachau Trials : The Investigative Work of the U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group, 1945-1947 John J. Dunphy McFarland & Company, Incorporated Publishers, McFarland & Company, Inc., Jefferson, North Carolina, 2019

The U.S. Army 7708 War Crimes Group investigated atrocities committed in Germany and Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. These young Americans--many barely out of their teens--gathered evidence, interviewed witnesses, apprehended suspects and prosecuted defendants at trials held at Dachau. Their work often put them in harm's way--some suspects facing arrest preferred to shoot it out. The War Crimes Group successfully prosecuted the perpetrators of the Malmedy Massacre, in which 84 American prisoners of war were shot by their German captors; and Waffen-SS commando Otto Skorzeny, aptly described as "the most dangerous man in Europe." Operation Paperclip, however, placed some war criminals--scientists and engineers recruited by the U.S. government--beyond their reach. From the ruins of the Third Reich arose a Nazi underground that preyed on Americans--especially members of the Group.

Framing Impunity in the Context of State Crime : A Study of Turkish State Criminality Against Kurds (1990- 2000) Sanya Karakas Routledge, Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Oxford, 2024

This book introduces a new conceptual framework for impunity within state crime theory and uses Turkish state criminality against Kurds between 1990 and 2000 as a case study. It develops an understanding of impunity that goes beyond viewing the state solely as an actor, facilitator, or denier of crime. It argues for an expanded definition of state crime to encompass criminal acts and processes undertaken by states, including impunity.Building on field research, case analysis, and interviews, this book digs deep into the mechanics of impunity and ways in which the Turkish state has evaded punishment for its criminal acts. In doing so, Framing Impunity in the Context of State Crime uncovers a close connection between the crimes of the government and the impunity which allowed those crimes to flourish. It demonstrates that state violence and impunity are endemic in the structural design of the Turkish state and serve to further both the state goals of ethnic and religious assimilation and the subsequent persecution of those who refused to be assimilated into the new state construction. The book uses Stanley Cohen's work on states of denial techniques to examine how states justify their illegal acts in order to deny and/or to evade responsibility for their crimes. Cohen's work on denial at the organisational level is central to the question of impunity because, as a form of state crime, impunity involves various state institutions or actors representing the very state machinery deployed to conceal and deny state criminality.An accessible and compelling read, this book will appeal to law students, scholars, researchers, NGOs, and civil society organisations. It will have broader applicability beyond the case study of Turkey and will be valuable to academics and policymakers worldwide who focus on the intersection of state crime and impunity.

Parce que pour connaître les peuples, il faut d'abord les comprendre L'Arménie est un mystère. Présent dans notre imaginaire à travers la mémoire du génocide, l'héritage soviétique et les cimes enneigées du mont Ararat, ce pays méconnu a toujours fasciné. Récit d'un jeune auteur fier de ses origines arméniennes, cet ouvrage mêle comme jamais les senteurs et souvenirs aux témoignages d'historiens, d'intellectuels mais aussi d'Arméniens ordinaires pour restituer le périple de ce peuple trois fois millénaire. Un voyage littéraire et intime pour nous conter, cent ans après le génocide, une nation toujours confrontée au poids du mythe, des légendes et de sa précaire situation géopolitique entre l'Iran, la Russie et l'Azerbaïdjan. Ce petit livre n'est pas un guide. C'est un décodeur. Il nous dit la foi viscérale et chaotique des Arméniens dans l'avenir, nourrie et occultée par le souvenir de la tragédie de 1915. Pour nous faire partager la vie, les doutes et les rêves de l'Arménie d'aujourd'hui. Afin de mieux nous la faire comprendre. Un grand récit suivi d'entretiens avec Jean-Pierre Mahé (L'Arménie tire sa force de sa cohésion familiale et religieuse), Levon Abrahamian (Nous devons réinventer notre lien avec les Arméniens de l'étranger) et Liudmila Harutunian (Les Arméniens ont pris l'habitude de servir plusieurs maîtres à la fois).

Peaceful Selves : Personhood, Nationhood, and the Post-Conflict Moment in Rwanda Laura Eramian Berghahn Books, Incorporated, Berghahn Books, New York, 2018

This ethnography of personhood in post-genocide Rwanda investigates how residents of a small town grapple with what kinds of persons they ought to become in the wake of violence. Based on fieldwork carried out over the course of a decade, it uncovers how conflicting moral demands emerge from the 1994 genocide, from cultural contradictions around “good” personhood, and from both state and popular visions for the future. What emerges is a profound dissonance in town residents'selfhood. While they strive to be agents of change who can catalyze a new era of modern Rwandan nationhood, they are also devastated by the genocide and struggle to recover a sense of selfhood and belonging in the absence of kin, friends, and neighbors. In drawing out the contradictions at the heart of self-making and social life in contemporary Rwanda, this book asserts a novel argument about the ordinary lives caught in global post-conflict imperatives to remember and to forget, to mourn and to prosper.

Memories and Representations of Terror : Working Through Genocide Daniel Feierstein;; Andrew Town, Douglas Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Oxford, 2023

Memories and Representations of Terror: Working Through Genocide explores how memories and representations shape our understanding of historical events, particularly the ways in which societies create narratives about genocide and its aftermath, using Argentina's last military dictatorship (19761983) and its contested legacy as a case study. Feierstein examines how memories and representations of genocide are the terrain in which both the strategic objectives of genocide and the possibilities of challenging those objectives are contested. These memories and representations provide the foundation upon which critical judgments about the past are constructed and offer the potential for assuming responsibility and working through the consequences of genocide. This book proposes that terror continues to hijack the actions and identities of surviving societies via a process of the construction of memories and social representations of the lived experience in a final stage of genocide Feierstein terms "symbolic enactment." In doing so, Feierstein examines the contributions of various disciplines to comprehending memory processes and social representations. It covers a range of topics, from the nature of memory based on the neuroscientific discoveries of the last half-century to psychoanalytic theories on the functioning of the mind, including the role of psychic defense mechanisms, the unconscious mind, collective pacts of denial and different forms of desensitization. It also explores historiographical debates between forms of history and forms of memory, as well as sociological contributions to the analysis of social frames of memory, cultural memory, generational transmission and related issues. The first volume of a three-volume work that aims to identify and evaluate the various consequences of genocidal social practices and the possibility of healing the scars left on individuals' subjectivities and the social fabric by iigenocide. This book is an essential reading for students and academics in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in genocide, collective memory and identity.

upload/bibliotik/U/Unit 731 Testimony - Hal Gold.pdf

Unit 731 : Testimony Hal Gold, Yuma Totani Tuttle Publishing, Lightning Source Inc. (Tier 3), New York, 2011

This is a riveting and disturbing account of the medical atrocities performed in and around Japan during WWII. Some of the cruelest deeds of Japan's war in Asia did not occur on the battlefield, but in quiet, antiseptic medical wards in obscure parts of the continent. Far from front lines and prying eyes, Japanese doctors and their assistants subjected human guinea pigs to gruesome medical experiments. In the first part of Unit 731: Testimony author Hal Gold draws upon a painstakingly accumulated reservoir of sources to construct a portrait of the Imperial Japanese Army's most notorious medical unit, giving an overview of its history and detailing its most shocking activities. The second half of the book consists almost entirely of the words of former unit members themselves, taken from remarks they made at a traveling Unit 731 exhibition held around Japan in 1994-95. These people recount their vivid first-hand memories of what it was like to cut open pregnant women as they lay awake on the vivisection table, inject plague germs into healthy farmers, and carry buckets of fresh blood and organs through corridors to their appropriate destinations. Unit 731: Testimony represents an essential addition to the growing body of literature on the still-unfolding story of one of the most infamous "military" outfits in modern history. By showing how the ethics of normal men and women, and even an entire profession, can be warped by the fire of war, this important book offers a window on a time of human madness, in the hope that such days will never come again.

The History of the Holocaust Pat Morgan G2 Entertainment Ltd, Bookwire GmbH, London, 2015

For 12 long years between 1933 until 1945, the inhuman Nazi regime in Germany waged a brutal, pitiless war on groups of people whom they considered inferior. Jews, Roma, Slavs, the disabled and homosexuals, as well as political opponents and religious enemies, were among the victims of what would become known as the Holocaust. Jews, whom the Nazis believed had been the authors of their country's downfall, were particular targets. At first through discrimination and persecution but later through violence, enslavement and mass murder, Hitler's henchmen and women carried out a merciless attempt to exterminate an entire people. Mobile squads of killers roamed eastern Europe seeking out their prey. Then, in a grisly attempt to industrialise the process of genocide, the Nazis opened up their death camps. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children passed through the gates of camps such as Auschwitz-Birkenau and Treblinka. Hundreds of thousands never came out. The first of the death camps was liberated in 1944 and the unimaginable truth of the atrocities of the Holocaust began to emerge in 1945. But it was not until the 1960s that the scale and meaning of the years of murder began to be truly appreciated in the western world. Seventy years on from the liberation, it is time to reassess one of the most infamous episodes in mankind's history.

Rain of Ash : Roma, Jews, and the Holocaust Alexander (Ari) Joskowicz Princeton University Press, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 2023

A major new history of the genocide of Roma and Jews during World War II and their entangled quest for historical justice Jews and Roma died side by side in the Holocaust, yet the world did not recognize their destruction equally. In the years and decades following the war, the Jewish experience of genocide increasingly occupied the attention of legal experts, scholars, educators, curators, and politicians, while the genocide of Europe's Roma went largely ignored. Rain of Ash is the untold story of how Roma turned to Jewish institutions, funding sources, and professional networks as they sought to gain recognition and compensation for their wartime suffering. Ari Joskowicz vividly describes the experiences of Hitler's forgotten victims and charts the evolving postwar relationship between Roma and Jews over the course of nearly a century. During the Nazi era, Jews and Roma shared little in common besides their simultaneous persecution. Yet the decades of entwined struggles for recognition have deepened Romani-Jewish relations, which now center not only on commemorations of past genocides but also on contemporary debates about antiracism and Zionism. Unforgettably moving and sweeping in scope, Rain of Ash is a revelatory account of the unequal yet necessary entanglement of Jewish and Romani quests for historical justice and self-representation that challenges us to radically rethink the way we remember the Holocaust.

Eyewitness to a Genocide : The United Nations and Rwanda Michael N Barnett Cornell Univercity Press, 2012 May

Why was the UN a bystander during the Rwandan genocide? Do its sins of omission leave it morally responsible for the hundreds of thousands of dead? Michael Barnett, who worked at the U.S. Mission to the United Nations from 1993 to 1994, covered Rwanda for much of the genocide. Based on his first-hand experiences, archival work, and interviews with many key participants, he reconstructs the history of the UN's involvement in Rwanda. In the weeks leading up to the genocide, the author documents, the UN was increasingly aware or had good reason to suspect that Rwanda was a site of crimes against humanity. Yet it failed to act. In Eyewitness to a Genocide, Barnett argues that its indifference was driven not by incompetence or cynicism but rather by reasoned choices cradled by moral considerations.Employing a novel approach to ethics in practice and in relationship to international organizations, Barnett offers an unsettling possibility: the UN culture recast the ethical commitments of well-intentioned individuals, arresting any duty to aid at the outset of the genocide. Barnett argues that the UN bears some moral responsibility for the genocide. Particularly disturbing is his observation that not only did the UN violate its moral responsibilities, but also that many in New York believed that they were "doing the right thing" as they did so. Barnett addresses the ways in which the Rwandan genocide raises a warning about this age of humanitarianism and concludes by asking whether it is possible to build moral institutions.ISBN : 9780801465123

Doctors From Hell : The Horrific Account of Nazi Experiments on Humans Vivien Spitz Sentient Publications, Open Road Integrated Media, Inc., [N.p.], 2005

A chilling story of human depravity and ultimate justice, told for the first time by an eyewitness court reporter for the Nuremberg war crimes trial of Nazi doctors. This is the account of 22 men and 1 woman and the torturing and killing by experiment they authorized in the name of scientific research and patriotism. Doctors from Hell includes trial transcripts that have not been easily available to the general public and previously unpublished photographs used as evidence in the trial. The author describes the experience of being in bombed-out, dangerous, post-war Nuremberg, where she lived for two years while working on the trial. Once a Nazi sympathizer tossed bombs into the dining room of the hotel where she lived moments before she arrived for dinner. She takes us into the courtroom to hear the dramatic testimony and see the reactions of the defendants to the proceedings. This landmark trial resulted in the establishment of the Nuremberg code, which set the guidelines for medical research involving human beings. A significant addition to the literature on World War II and the Holocaust, medical ethics, human rights, and the barbaric depths to which human beings can descend. Vivien Spitz, the youngest court reporter at the Nuremberg Trials, has given more than 500 speeches on the lessons of the Holocaust to schools, churches, synagogues, and professional groups internationally. She has been honored numerous times for her work, including commendations from Bill Clinton, Al Gore, US Senator Christopher Dodd, and the state of Israel. She was the first woman to report on the U.S. Senate floor and has taken down the words of four presidents. She lives in Houston, Texas. History

A History of Rwanda : From the Monarchy to Post-genocidal Justice Klaus Bachmann Routledge, Routledge studies in the modern history of Africa, Abingdon, Oxon, 2023

__A History of Rwanda: From the Monarchy to Post-genocidal Justice__ provides a complete history of Rwanda, from the precolonial abanyiginya kingdom, through the German and Belgian colonial periods and subsequent independence, and then the devastating 1994 genocide and reconstruction, right up to the modern day. Based on extensive archival research, this book provides new insights and corrects many popular stereotypes about Rwanda, aiming to go beyond the polarized and heated debates focused on the genocide and the events that followed. Readers will get a clear and broad picture of Rwanda’s history and the social and political contexts that have defined the county from the pre-colonial period onwards. Embedding Rwanda’s history in the regional context, this book avoids simple moral judgements and instead shows where and when Rwanda differed from its neighbours and how the country’s history fits into larger debates about colonialism, genocide, ethnicity, race and development. Offering a full and balanced exploration of Rwanda’s rich and paradoxical history, this book will be an important read for researchers and students of African history, genocide studies, transitional justice, colonialism, and political and social anthropology.

Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities : Terribly and Terrifyingly Normal? Alette Smeulers Routledge, Taylor & Francis (Unlimited), Oxford, 2023

The 9/11 attacks, as well as the ones in Madrid, London, Paris and Brussels; the genocides in Nazi Germany, Rwanda and Cambodia; the torture in dictatorial regimes; the wars in former Yugoslavia, Syria and Iraq and currently in Ukraine; the sexual violence during periods of conflict, all make us wonder: why would anyone do something like that? Who are these people? Drawing on 30 years of research, in this book Alette Smeulers explores the perpetrators of mass atrocities such as war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide and terrorism. Examining questions of why people kill and torture and how mass atrocities can be explained, Smeulers presents a typology of perpetrators, with different ranks, roles and motives. Devoting one chapter to each type of perpetrator, the book combines insights from academic research with illustrative case studies of well-known perpetrators, from dictators to middlemen, to lower ranking officials and terrorists. Their stories are explored in depth as the book examines their behaviour and motivation. Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities thus provides a comprehensive understanding of the causes of extreme mass violence. Such knowledge not only can help the international criminal justice system to be able to attribute blame in a fairer way but can also assist in preventing such atrocities being committed on the current scale. Perpetrators of Mass Atrocities is essential reading for all those interested in war crimes, genocide, terrorism and mass violence

Making and Shaping the Law of Armed Conflict (The Lieber Studies Series) Sivakumaran, Sandesh (editor);Burne, Captain Christian R. (editor) Oxford University PressNew York, 2024 jul 24

How laws are created, shaped, and applied is a significant but often overlooked component of studies on armed conflict. Almost every contentious legal question involves aspects of law-making and shaping, be it the determination of a rule's scope of application, whether and how to regulate a “new” situation, or determining which sources and materials to take into account. As such, all who operate in this space - whether academic, practitioner, policy-maker, or legal advisor - must appreciate and understand the forces, factors, and actors which converge to make and shape the ever-developing law of armed conflict. This volume brings together several key contributors to explore this making and shaping in depth. A variety of aspects of law-making and shaping are analyzed, from the methodology behind identifying principles and rules of law, to what weight should be given to the views of particular actors, to the various forums where the law is made and shaped. It examines foundational materials of the law of armed conflict including the 1949 Geneva Conventions and considers the influence of a wide scope of actors, ranging from States, the International Committee of the Red Cross, and international courts and tribunals through to expert groups, commissions of inquiry, and non-state armed groups. This volume also asks us to broaden our gaze beyond spaces where the law is traditionally created to uncover different types of making and unmaking
