Prosecuting War Crimes: Seeking Justice for the Victims of War

By: Allen, John

Book Overview

As modern warfare has become more hazardous to soldiers and civilians, nations have worked together to create and enforce rules of war. Prosecuting War Crimes: Seeking Justice for the Victims of War explores how treaties such as the Geneva Conventions have set guidelines to protect noncombatants and govern the treatment of military prisoners. The book also looks at how war criminals can be brought to justice, from the Nuremberg Trials to the Balkans tribunals to evidence of war crimes in Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
