Redress for Victims of Crimes under International Law

The book explores the origins, evolution and practice relating to victims' redress for crimes under international law - such as genocide, war crimes or crimes against humanity - in domestic law, regional and universal human rights regimes, humanitarian law, State responsibility, United Nations practice and international criminal law, including the International Criminal Court. The book argues that the international community must now move towards a much more comprehensive redress regime for victims of major crimes, and recommends ways to introduce greater coherence and fairness in victims' redress.
