Full of shocking and moving personal stories
Murder, extermination, enslavement, ethnic cleansing, rape, and torture: all these actions constitute crimes against humanity when carried out in a widespread or systematic way. This is the only short and readable guide to these topics that are unfortunately rarely out of the news.
Adam Jones outlines the history and current extent of key crimes committed against humanity, and highlights the efforts of popular movements to suppress them. Using examples ranging from the genocide in Darfur and Rwanda and the sex trade of Eastern Europe to the use of torture on American detainees, Jones explores the progress already made in toughening international law, and the current stumbling blocks which prevent full compliance with it.
