Thomas W. Simon

Genocide, Torture, and Terrorism

Ranking International Crimes and Justifying Humanitarian Intervention

Ebook (PDF Format)

We are understandably reluctant to rank moral atrocities. What is worse, genocide or terrorism? In this book, Thomas W. Simon argues that politicians use this to manipulate our sense of injustice by exaggerating terrorism and minimizing torture. He advocates for an international criminal code that encourages humanitarian intervention.
