Table of ContentsReviewsDr. Zachary Kaufman is at the forefront of the transitional justice movement in the international sphere. His scholarship, his work experience with the U.S. government and three war crimes tribunals, and his personal philanthropy in Rwanda and elsewhere inform his new book, taking it out of the ivory tower and into the human and institutional wreckage left by crimes against humanity. -Peter Schuck, Simeon E. Baldwin Professor Emeritus of Law, Yale Law School Dr. Zachary Kaufman is an astute scholar and experienced practitioner on transitional justice issues. Through detailed, original research, he uncovers the factors driving U.S. policymaking on transitional justice. This important book--compellingly written, meticulously documented, and persuasively argued--is a must-read for anyone interested in international law, international relations, human rights, and U.S. foreign policy. -Kate Stith, Lafayette S. Foster Professor of Law, Yale Law School This important, original, and unique contribution to the literature on transitional justice examines one of its foremost practitioners, the United States, starting with the post-Second World War context in Germany and Japan to the challenges of Yugoslavia, Rwanda, and the modern day. Profound new insights, of relevance to many parts of the world, emerge from such a compelling comparative approach. -Dr. William A. Schabas, Professor of Human Rights and International Criminal Law, University of Leiden; former Commissioner, Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission Dr. Zachary Kaufman dissects, from the perspective of United States foreign policy, the design and establishment of four historic war crimes tribunals-Nuremberg, Tokyo, the former Yugoslavia, and Rwanda-and explains why they embodied uniquely crafted means of transitional justice. Kaufman's analytical premise for U.S. policy towards accountability for atrocity crimes is prudentialism, which he introduces as a blending of normative beliefs, politics, and pragmatics. Sometimes, however, that cocktail fails to result in a criminal tribunal, such as for Libya and Iraq following the end of the Cold War. Kaufman, a rising scholar, has written a tour de force that sets the stage for future tribunals and non-judicial approaches to transitional justice in a turbulent world. -The Honorable David J. Scheffer, Mayer Brown / Robert A. Helman Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law; the first U.S. Ambassador at Large for War Crimes Issues United States Law and Policy on Transitional Justice: Principles, Politics, and Pragmatics offers a magnificent and detailed examination of the domestic and international politics of international criminal tribunals, from Nuremberg and Tokyo to Arusha, and The Hague. Dr. Zachary Kaufman shows that not only does the study of such tribunals and other transitional justice mechanisms belong in the realm of international relations, but it can also inform international relations theory itself. -Dr. David J. Simon, Director, Genocide Studies Program, and Lecturer, Department of Political Science, Yale University Dr. Zachary Kaufman is at the forefront of the transitional justice movement in the international sphere. His scholarship, his work experience with the U.S. government and three war crimes tribunals, and his personal philanthropy in Rwanda and elsewhere inform his new book, taking it out of the ivory tower and into the human and institutional wreckage left by crimes against humanity. -Peter Schuck, Simeon E.
