The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 9)

International Military Tribunal

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

The Nuremberg Trials (Volume 9) is a critical compilation of the landmark proceedings that followed World War II, marking a transformative moment in the history of international law and justice. This volume delves into the intricate legal arguments, testimonies, and moral dilemmas faced by the judges as they grappled with crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The narrative is meticulously structured, reflecting the formal tone typical of judicial proceedings, while also spotlighting the profound ethical implications woven throughout the testimonies of witnesses and defendants alike, further underscored by the historical context of a devastated Europe emerging from totalitarian oppression. The International Military Tribunal, composed of judges from the Allied powers, was birthed out of a desire to provide accountability and justice for the atrocities committed during the war. This unprecedented effort to impose the rule of law on military leaders and officials epitomizes the evolution of global legal standards. By synthesizing complex legal frameworks with moral imperatives, the tribunal's work reflects the authors' deep commitment to establishing a precedent for future international justice. Readers seeking to understand the foundations of contemporary human rights law and the judicial responses to egregious state-sponsored violence will find Volume 9 invaluable. It serves not only as a historical document but also as a scholarly resource that encourages reflection on the enduring questions of justice, morality, and the societal obligations we have towards one another in the face of inhumanity.

Retired and relaxing at the pool on a hot, sunny Texas afternoon was the perfect way to start summer early. Life was perfect.
So they thought.
Clark and his wife, Jamie, are the proud parents of two adopted girls. Clark is a Christian who became a believer in adulthood. His faith has been his guide and was the foundation of how he and his wife raised the children.
Life was perfect.
Suddenly, life was not perfect. In fact, Clark and Jamie lived Job’s life from the Old Testament. It seemed as if everything around them was being taken from them. Life was no longer perfect. It was on that hot sunny day in Texas when their youngest daughter was ripped away from their family. Kidnapped!

House of Our Queer - Healing...

Bex Mui

Queerness is a blessing. Reclaim your spiritual practice.
In House Of Our Queer, activist and organizer, Bex Mui M. Ed., takes readers on a winding path through her spiritual journey. Raised Catholic— with Buddhist influences from her father and his family— Bex shares the complexities that arise from being queer in religious spaces and shares her journey back to her spiritual roots after years of shutting out faith. Whether you have felt shut out by religion, or have wanted to find your own queer spiritual path, this book is for you.
Throughout the text, the author describes her own spiritual practices including energy work, astrology, tarot, ancestor altars, moon rituals, sacred sexuality, and reframed Christian practices and beliefs. Each chapter ends with offerings that readers can incorporate into their own spiritual practice. The author guides and inspires readers to reclaim spiritual practices that work for them.
Spiritual practices can help people find stability and community to develop trust in intuitions. Yet, too often, queer people feel that they must sacrifice queerness and pleasure to benefit from everything that spirituality has to offer. House Of Our Queer poses that great change can happen when queerness is held at the center, rather than at the margins of religious experience. Bex Mui creates the foundation for reclaiming faith and spirituality without sacrificing the essential parts o who we are. The text serves as a reminder that queerness is a blessing, and offers tools we can use to honor that truth in our daily lives.
