ISBN: 9788415462699 Autor: Categorias: ,

El autor, a partir de su experiencia personal, hace un recorrido en este libro por algunas de la tragedias que se han producido a nuestro alrededor en los últimos tiempos. La persecución religiosa en Irán, las guerras de limpieza étnica de la antigua Yugoslavia o el genocidio de Ruanda son temas que aborda en profundidad, analizando las deficiencias y limitaciones de la ONU para prevenir e impedir estos desastres, y señalando la indiferencia general de los estados –centrados en sus intereses estratégicos– como causa principal de esta ineficacia. Como jurista comprometido en la lucha por los derechos humanos, el autor plantea la necesidad de una justicia global que persiga, juzgue y castigue a los culpables de estas atrocidades.
