Has international justice for war crimes become an entrenched aspect of globalization? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eGlobal Justice\u003c\/i\u003e, Moghalu examines the phenomenon of war crimes trials from an unusual, political perspective--that of an anarchical international society. He argues that, contrary to conventional wisdom, war crimes trials are neither motivated nor influenced solely by abstract notions of justice. Instead, war crimes trials are the product of the interplay of political forces that have led to an inevitable clash between globalization and sovereignty on the sensitive question of who should judge war criminals. From Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm to the Japanese Emperor Hirohito, from the trials of Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, and Charles Taylor to Belgium's attempts to enforce the contested doctrine of universal jurisdiction, Moghalu renders a compelling tour de force of one of the most controversial subjects in world politics. He argues that, necessary though it was, international justice has run into a crisis of legitimacy. While international trials will remain a policy option, local or regional responses to mass atrocities will prove more durable.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKingsley Chiedu Moghalu\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, recently served as a member of the Redesign Panel on the United Nations Internal Justice System appointed by the Secretary-General as part of the reform of the United Nations and was formerly Legal Adviser to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, which he represented in negotiations that led to the establishment of the International Criminal Court.
