Publisher Synopsis
'This is a closely argued and well-written book, which combines a firm grasp of controversial issues in international law, with a genuine and enthusiastic originality. Heieck's focus is the duty to prevent genocide. He asks the question how this duty affects the bedrock principle of the current international order - the prohibition of the use of force. Highly recommended for students and scholars of international law.' -- Bill Bowring, University of London, UK 'John Heieck wades into one of the murkiest and most politically fraught issues of our time - what the duty to prevent genocide requires of states, particularly the members of the P5 - and does so with aplomb. Future scholarship on genocide will ignore this brave and intelligent book at its peril.' -- Kevin Jon Heller, Australian National University, Australia and University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands Read more...
