{"product_id":"crimes-against-peace-and-international-kirsten-sellars-9781107542532","title":"'Crimes Against Peace' and International Law","description":"In 1946, the judges at the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg declared 'crimes against peace' - the planning, initiation or waging of aggressive wars - to be 'the supreme international crime'. At the time, the prosecuting powers heralded the charge as being a legal milestone, but it later proved to be an anomaly arising from the unique circumstances of the post-war period. This study traces the idea of criminalising aggression, from its origins after the First World War, through its high-water mark at the post-war tribunals at Nuremberg and Tokyo, to its abandonment during the Cold War. Today, a similar charge - the 'crime of aggression' - is being mooted at the International Criminal Court, so the ideas and debates that shaped the original charge of 'crimes against peace' assume new significance and offer valuable insights to lawyers, policy-makers and scholars engaged in international law and international relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirsten Sellars\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107542537\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107542532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 340\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Kirsten Sellars","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120814551295,"sku":"9781107542532","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3de6fb7a-7e1a-4fad-99dc-e9bb0c44ae58.jpg?v=1687416424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crimes-against-peace-and-international-kirsten-sellars-9781107542532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
