Indeks : p.210 - 225 p.194 - 209 This is a book about war. That explores the meaning and effect of such trials, and places them in their broader political and cultural contexts. The book traces the development of the war crimes field from the origins in the outlawing of piracy to its contemporary manifestation in the establishment of the International Criminal Court in The Hague. Simpson argues that the field of war crimes is constituted by a number of tensions between, fo example, politics and law; local justice and cosmopolitan reckoning; collective guilt and individual responsibility; and between the instinct that war, ar worst, is an error, and the conviction that war is a crime.
