Dave Benjamin

Corruption as an International Crime

Conflict, State Failure and Judicial Accountability

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Does judicial accountability have a valid place in ending corruption and augmenting rebuilding of the shattered state? Dave Benjamin offers a thoughtful polemic intended to provoke discussion about how to bring justice to peoples who are disenfranchised by kleptocracy, and who seek justice that would hold those who have plundered their countries judicially and criminally responsible for their actions.
