OverviewHow did one of the bravest and most optimistic expressions of post Cold War global power - the provision of justice for those victimised by atrocious crimes - degenerate into a system in which so few are convinced that justice is being dispensed? This book comprehensively examines the complex world of international criminal justice in several hot spots including the former Yugoslavia, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Sudan and Uganda. The author suggests ways to provide an effective justice system that entrusts the potentially destabilising work of crime war crimes justice to the very states affected by the crimes.

Table of ContentsReviewsRooted in a personal hunger for justice and reconciliation, After Genocide makes an indispensible contribution to current debates about international justice, and international interventions more generally, by challenging the ideology that the international is by definition a better force for good than the national or local. Smith convincingly calls to account an international movement that holds others criminally responsible, but has thus far managed to shield itself behind judicial robes from political accountability for its own operations. -- Making Sense of Darfur blog, August 18, 2009 """Rooted in a personal hunger for justice and reconciliation, After Genocide makes an indispensible contribution to current debates about international justice, and international interventions more generally, by challenging the ideology that the international is by definition a better force for good than the national or local.
