Norman Geras is Professor Emeritus in Politics at the University of Manchester.
"Readers will learn not only about the nature of the law, but also
about the predicates underlying it, the influences on it, its
history and its possible progression as well as its relationship to
humanitarian intervention."
(Timothy Mawe, University College Cork, Political Studies Review,
May 2014)
‘This book represents a strong theoretical contribution and
informative guide for both academics and practitioners dealing with
the subject. In addition, this book is beneficial for a general
non-specialist audience as an accessible tool in shedding light on
one of the most topical, complicated and contentious issues in the
sphere of contemporary international law.’
Rustam B. Atadjanov, Issue 1 of 2016 of the Journal of
International Criminal Justice, July 2016
‘Norman Geras’s Crimes against humanity is an elegantly written and
deeply humane work that examines the philosophical basis of one of
the core crimes of international law…For a compact, thoughtful, and
philosophically sophisticated discussion of a category of crime
that has become central to international law and global politics,
it would be difficult to do better than this volume.’
Andrew Altman, Springer: Criminal Law and Philosophy (2016)
