JOURNAL OF GENOCIDE RESEARCH 9:2 (June 2007)

Special Issue on Genocide and International Law

Guest Editor: Ben Saul

The law of genocide underwent remarkable development in the 1990s, as the two ad hoc international criminal tribunals for Rwanda and the former Yugoslaviaresponded to complex violence and atrocities in those regions. The jurisprudence of those tribunals has been subject to considerable scholarly attention, and as the work of those tribunals nears completion, this issue of the Journal of Genocide Research reorients attention towards important legal developments in other contexts. As the articles in this issue reveal, a range of institutions and actors have participated in clarifying and elucidating the law on preventing, punishing, and remedying genocide.
