Sinossi

Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and is fundamentally an attack on democracy. Under international law, the invasion of a United Nations member state which poses no imminent threat to the invader amounts to the serious crime of aggression. But can Putin be prosecuted? And if so, will he ever be held to account?
This remarkable book, by one of the world's most celebrated human rights lawyers, shows how the Nuremberg trials of Nazi leaders validate the prosecution of Putin. Ironically, Putin's defence hinges on a doctrine invented by George W. Bush to justify his invasion of Iraq, which Geoffrey Robertson exposes as contravening international law. If Putin fails to attend court, Robertson argues that he could be tried fairly in his absence, ensuring a verdict that will give pause to China and other countries which look to destroy democracy.
This brilliant deep dive into international law offers a unique perspective on an unjust war, highlighting why democracy is not safe unless Putin can be put – at least metaphorically – behind bars.

  • Urban School Dynamics - Understanding Black Student Behavior - cover

    Urban School Dynamics -...

    In the bustling corridors of urban schools, a narrative has quietly taken root, often painting a monochrome picture of Black student behavior. This narrative, woven from threads of misunderstanding, oversimplification, and occasional bias, rarely captures the complexities and richness of the experiences these students bring into the classroom. "Urban School Dynamics: Understanding Black Student Behavior" delves deep into the intricate mosaic of influences, challenges, and aspirations that shape the actions and choices of Black students in city schools. 
    The urban educational landscape, with its unique challenges and dynamics, often amplifies the struggles faced by students. Within these walls, Black students, shaped by a myriad of socio-economic, cultural, and personal factors, navigate their educational journey. But why do some of these journeys manifest in ways that are perceived as disruptive or counterproductive? Are these behaviors indicative of deeper systemic issues, unmet needs, or cultural misunderstandings? 
    This book embarks on an exploratory quest, dismantling stereotypes and debunking myths, while shedding light on the intricate interplay of factors like socio-economic pressures, historical context, cultural values, and personal aspirations. Along the way, I will amplify the voices of Black students, educators, and parents, providing a comprehensive, empathetic, and nuanced understanding of behavior in urban school contexts. 
    By the end, my hope is that readers will not only gain insights into the dynamics influencing Black student behavior but will also be equipped with knowledge and empathy to foster more inclusive, understanding, and supportive educational environments.

    - Feeling desperately misunderstood 
    - Overwhelming feelings of loss and grief
