The Justice of Humans

'Kirsten Campbell is an original, incisive voice in international criminal justice debates. In this compelling book, she argues that it is not enough to reform systems of justice – they need to be radically transformed.' Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London
'Kirsten Campbell brings her considerable expertise on feminist, and socio-legal theory to this definitive study of sexual violence prosecutions at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and the Women's Court. Richly informed by over two decades of ethnographic research, Campbell combines an insider's knowledge of international criminal law, a scholar's acute questioning of legal and social order, with an activist's commitment to building the feminist gender justice we need.' Doris Buss, Carleton University
'This book brilliantly delivers intellectual rigour, creative reforms, a theory of feminist justice, and recognition of the power of accountability – as broadly conceived – to promote global social emancipation.' Mark A. Drumbl, Washington and Lee University
'… essential reading for anyone interested in the development of international law.' Charlotte Carney, International Affairs
'[This book] makes an important contribution to the feminist literature on international criminal law, critically interrogating the elusive notion of 'international justice' in the context of responses to sexual violence as an international crime. … [it] represents an essential theoretical and practical tool for academics, legal researchers, practitioners, and women's rights activists committed to the ongoing work of reimagining international criminal law's treatment of sexual violence.' Eithne Dowds, Feminist Legal Studies
