Reihe: The Travaux Préparatoires of Multilateral Treaties

This work gathers together for the first time in a single publication the records of the multitude of meetings which, in the context of the newly established United Nations, led to the adoption of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide on 9 December 1948. This work will enable academics and practitioners easy access to the Genocide Convention’s travaux préparatoires – an endeavour that has until now proven extremely difficult. This work will be of paramount importance for the international adjudication of the crime of genocide insofar as recourse to the “general rule of interpretation” and the “supplementary means of interpretation” under the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is concerned.

Vol. 1: xxxviii, 1252 pages.
Vol. 2: xvi, 965 pages.

Zielgruppe

All academics and practitioners interested in the crime of genocide: lawyers (international, comparative, domestic), historians, anthropologists, sociologists, as well as those specialising in political science and international relations.
