Crime of Destruction and the Law of Genocide
Their Impact on Collective Memory
Overview
This highly original work provides a thought-provoking and valuable resource for researchers and academics with an interest in genocide, criminology, international organizations, and law and society.
About the Author's Focus
In her book, Caroline Fournet examines the law relating to genocide and explores the apparent failure of society to provide an adequate response to incidences of mass atrocity.
Legal Perspective on Genocide
The work casts a legal perspective on this social phenomenon to show that genocide fails to be appropriately remembered due to inherent defects in the law of genocide itself.
Connecting Social and Legal Responses
The book thus connects the social response to the legal theory and practice, and trials in particular.
Critique of the Genocide Convention
Fournet's study illustrates the shortcomings of the Genocide Convention as a means of preventing and punishing genocide as well as its consequent failure to ensure the memory of this heinous crime.
