Item description from seller

Sterling condition softcover copy, with slightly furled front upper tip, tight binding, and clean internals, showing only very slight shelf- and edge-wear. Contributions by the editor, C. Tofan, and with several score other documents, findings, manifestos, filings and other works. From the publisher's blurb, "The history of the establishment of the International Criminal Court (ICC) spans over more than a century. While efforts to create a global criminal court can be traced back to the early 19th century, the story began in earnest in 1872 with Gustav Moynier - one of the founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross - who proposed a permanent court in response to the crimes of the Franco-Prussian War. In 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Genocide Convention in which it called for criminals to be tried "by such international penal tribunals as may have jurisdiction." In June 1989, motivated in part by an effort to combat drug trafficking, Trinidad and Tobago resurrected a pre-existing proposal for the establishment of an international criminal court and the UN General Assembly asked that the International Law Commission resume its work on drafting a statute. The conflicts in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, as well as in Rwanda, in the early 1990s led the UN Security Council to establish two separate temporary ad hoc tribunals to hold individuals accountable for those atrocities, further highlighting the need for a permanent international criminal court. The "road to Rome" was a long and often contentious one. Through a series of drafts, committees, negotiations, and other developments, the ICC was eventually established. This book describes the history of the ICC and presents the most important legal documents that led to the creation of this remarkable institution." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. Frontis matter, 587 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.…

Store description

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana. Structure, Verses, Agency Books…
