The Justice Dilemma: Leaders and Exile in an Era of Accountability

The Justice Dilemma: Leaders and Exile in an Era of Accountability

Daniel Krcmaric, 2020

Overview

In an era of increasing accountability for abusive leaders, the option of exile as a 'golden parachute' is diminishing. This shift presents a complex paradox: while the threat of international prosecution may deter some leaders from committing atrocities, it can also compel others to prolong civil wars due to a lack of viable exit strategies. This book examines the inherent tension between conflict resolution and atrocity prevention, two key objectives of the international community.
