More about the book
The book presents a critical examination of international penal law, arguing that it serves as a tool for Western dominance. It highlights a dual system where powerful nations benefit from tailored laws, while weaker states face punitive measures. Through historical context and philosophical insights, the author contends that despite claims of impartiality, international law has consistently reinforced an unequal global order since the Tokyo and Nuremberg trials. This polemic challenges the perceived universality of legal frameworks in the international arena.
