Since World War II a large body of case law has interpreted the key offenses criminalizing such discourse: (1) incitement to genocide; and (2) persecution as a crime against humanity. But the law has developed in a fragmented manner. Surprisingly, no volume has furnished a comprehensive analysis of the entire jurisprudential output and the relation of each of its parts to one another and to the whole. 'Atrocity Speech Law' fills this gap and provides needed perspective for courts, government officials, and scholars UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780190612689.001.0001 ER -
