Synopsis

A concluding chapter makes proposals for the future, suggesting a shift from diplomacy to institutions which can recognise and enforce human rights rules. The book includes a careful analysis of the war crimes trials soon to begin at the Hague, the first occasion since Nuremburg on which the international community has attempted to punish violators of human rights.
