    Book description

    The Balkan Wars, the Rwanda genocide, and the crimes against humanity in Cambodia and Sierra Leone spurred the creation of international criminal tribunals to bring the perpetrators of unimaginable atrocities to justice. When Richard Goldstone, David Crane, Robert Petit, and Luis Moreno-Ocampo received the call - each set out on a unique quest to build an international criminal tribunal and launch its first prosecutions. Never before have the founding International Prosecutors told the behind-the-scenes stories of their historic journey. With no blueprint and little precedent, each was a path-breaker. This book contains the first-hand accounts of the challenges they faced, the obstacles they overcame, and the successes they achieved in obtaining justice for millions of victims.

    Reviews

    'In an engaging series of essays, each provides firsthand accounts of their involvement in the creation of these institutions, offering personal reflections on their evolution. As a compilation of their stories, the book is a unique contribution to the literature on the history of international tribunals, and the narratives provide insights not found elsewhere. Though the book is targeted at academic audiences, it is written in an informal style non-experts can easily follow. Four additional chapters by international law experts provide context. All the Missing Souls: A Personal History of the War Crimes Tribunals … by David Scheffer, one of the contributors, is a complementary book. … The Founders should find a welcome home in law libraries with specialized collections in international criminal law.'
