Reducing Genocide to Law: Definition, Meaning, and the Ultimate Crime
ISBN: 9781107480056 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Could the prevailing view that genocide is the ultimate crime be wrong? Is it possible that it is actually on an equal footing with war crimes and crimes against humanity? Is the power of the word genocide derived from something other than jurisprudence? And why should a hierarchical abstraction assume such importance in conferring meaning on suffering and injustice? Could reducing a reality that is beyond reason and words into a fixed category undermine the very progress and justice that such labelling purports to achieve? For some, these questions may border on the international law...

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have generated tremendous discussion in global policy and academic circles.

It critically examines the...

Honest and learned critics should be the judges of the value of the contemporary literary production. Some literary testaments reach the top of the peak of fame, but in a short period of days descend on the common walking path and cash in no more. Other volumes of black on white...

Psychiatry must die!
ISBN: 9781499118155 / Angielski / Miękka / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Protest poetry from a psychiatric survivor. When truth is denied because people don't want to think of horrific things happening in their society, because it hurts too much, art is the only means through which to be heard. When an artist's truth is not being heard even through their art, despite skill and ability, it makes for a strange unlistening society that denies courtroom truths as much it denies poetic truths. It makes for a society that promotes paedophiles over those who are trying to stop abuse, promotes perpetrating doctors over psychiatric survivors who they have tortured......

For in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea we see a state that seeks to control...

Making Human: World Order and the Global Governance of Human Dignity
ISBN: 9780472052493 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Differences between human beings have long been used to justify a range of degrading, exclusionary, and murderous practices that strip people of their humanity and dignity. While considerable scholarship has been devoted to such dehumanization, Matthew S. Weinert asks how we might conceive its reverse--humanization, or what it means to "make human." Weinert proposes an account of making human centered on five mechanisms: reflection, recognition, resistance, replication of dominant mores, and responsibility. Examining cases such as the UN Security Council's engagements with crises and the...
