The Law and Practice of International Commissions of Inquiry
127,50 €
This book examines one of the most frequently used-but least understood-forms of humanitarian intervention: international commissions of inquiry (ICOIs). The international community is increasingly dispatching these investigative bodies to conflict zones in an effort to respond to atrocities from civil war to genocide. With a cast of expert contributors from different fields, Jens Meierhenrich examines the politics, power, and pathologies of these international institutions.
