Opis

It has been said that we no longer consider whether to pursue justice, but how and when. Justice no longer follows in the wake of peace; it is pursued while violent political conflicts are on-going. This book explores the relationship between peace and justice through an analysis of the interventions of the ICC into on-going and active conflicts.

Recenzje

Kerstens nuanced analysis depicts the ICC as a conflicted court acting in conflict zones. Through an engaging and accessible style, he convincingly shows that the implications of pursuing during-conflict justice are varied and fluid, rather than dichotomous and deterministic. With the rising chorus of calls for international criminal justice in various countries, ranging from Syria to Israel/Palestine to Colombia, Kersten urges readers to maintain a healthy skepticism when categorical, and often ideological, assertions are made regarding both the positive and negative effects of ICC interventions... Kersten offers a refreshing contribution to the growing literature on the politics of international criminal justice.
