Genocide, Torture, and Terrorism

We are understandably reluctant to 'rank' moral atrocities. What is worse, genocide or terrorism? In this book, Thomas W. Simon argues that politicians use this to manipulate our sense of injustice by exaggerating terrorism and minimizing torture. He advocates for an international criminal code that encourages humanitarian intervention.

Thomas W. Simon is Professor of International Law at Johns Hopkins University s School for Advanced International Studies (SAIS) at the Hopkins-Nanjing Center, China. His books include: Laws of Genocide, Ethnic Identity and Minority Protection, Democracy & Social Injustice, Law & Philosophy, and China s Changing Legal System. He has held law fellowships at Harvard Law School (USA), University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), and University of Malaya (Malaysia).
