Geoffrey Robertson
Auteur de The Tyrannicide Brief: The Story of the Man Who Sent Charles I to the Scaffold
A propos de l'auteur
Geoffrey Robertson QC deplore this hypocrisy and, in An Inconvenient Genocides, the renowned human right lawyer proves beyond reasonable doubt that the horrific avents in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 constitute the crime against humanity that is today known as genocide. His justly celebrated powers afficher plus of advocacy are on full display as he condemns all those who try to justify the mass murder of children and civilians in the name of military necessity or religious fervour. afficher moins
