Product Description
Review
This is a formidable and well-documented counterblast to a developing modern orthodoxy, expressing a point of view that many readers will not even have suspected existed, let alone read - Anthony Daniels, Spectator. A useful and controversial contribution to the debate about victor's justice, and a valuable warning that international war crimes tribunals need to operate with precision and care - Jonathan Steele, Guardian. In this important, timely and cogently argued book John Laughland lays bare the truth that political trials, by which he means trials of heads of state or government ministers for acts of state...have never been properly constituted nor properly conducted judicial proceedings... Invaluable - Robert Stewart in the Spectator. A stupendous book - Daniel Hannan, Daily Telegraph. Laughland asks some pointed questions that will discomfit even those who disagree with him. Who has the right to adjudicate the acts of another state? What accountability is there for international tribunals? To what extent are they victors' justice? - Adam LeBor, Sunday Telegraph. This richly documented, very readable and strikingly indignant book shows how a well-meant global development of our times has gone off the rails ... How will the community of human rights activists deal with John Laughland's charges? I hope we shall be told - Geoffrey Best, Times Literary Supplement.
