The Institute recently published Jonathan Power’s latest book, “Ending War Crimes, Chasing the War Criminals”, which he will elaborate on during a book launch that is co-organized with Jus Humanis.
The book includes an analysis of the characters of Adolph Eichmann and Heinrich Himmler. It moves on to look at the role played by some of Africa’s war criminals and also offers portraits of alleged war criminals from the Western world, including Henry Kissinger, George W. Bush, Ariel Sharon and Tony Blair. The book also tracks the wars, genocide and subsequent international criminal law trials of suspects in Cambodia, Africa and the former Yugoslavia. In its final chapter it asks the question: Can human rights be pursued by making war?
