Jeffrey S Bachman All Books: Genocide sku-676626181

Jeffrey S Bachman's hardcover The Politics of Genocide is listed under All Books (sku-676626181). It examines the negotiations leading to the unanimous adoption of the UN Genocide Convention on December 9, 1948, and the actions of the United States, Soviet Union/Russia, China, United Kingdom and France since then. The book argues that these permanent Security Council members have made it difficult to implicate or hold them accountable for genocide. It discusses territorial jurisdiction, the convention's exclusion of political groups and cultural genocide, Security Council control over when genocide is named, and how the responsibility to protect has been directed away from the P-5. Bachman describes the result as practical impunity and calls these nations "outlaw states." The book presents itself as the first to explicitly show how they have used the convention to stay beyond the law's reach.You may also like Aaai All Books sku-53255162: Weblogs and Social Media.
