Van Schaack's Annotated Bibliography on Crimes against Humanity

Beth Van Schaack, the Leah Kaplan Visiting Professor in Human Rights at Stanford Law School, has posted Crimes Against Humanity: An Annotated Bibliography:

This is an annotated bibliography of scholarship and jurisprudence involving crimes against humanity, an important element of the international criminal law canon. It elucidates the history of this offense (which traces its roots to the World War I period), elements of this offense, lingering areas of doctrinal indeterminacy, efforts at universal codification, and the most innovative scholarship grappling with the reach of this international offense.
