In Britain, Lloyd George campaigned for re-election on the slogan 'hang the Kaiser', but the Italians had only lukewarm support for a trial, and there was outright resistance from the United States. During the Peace Conference, international lawyers gathered for the first time to debate international criminal justice. They recommended trial of the Kaiser by an international tribunal for war crimes, and the Americans relented, agreeing to a trial for a 'supreme offence against international morality'. However, the Kaiser had fled to the Netherlands where he obtained asylum, and though the Allies threatened a range of measures if the former Emperor was not surrendered, the Dutch refused and the demands were dropped in March 1920. This book, from renowned legal scholar William A. Schabas, sheds light on perhaps the most important international trial that never was. Schabas draws on numerous primary sources hitherto unexamined in published work, including transcripts which vividly illuminate this period of international law making. As such, he has written a book which constitutes a history of the very beginnings of international criminal justice, a history which has never before been fully told. 600 00 $a William $b II, $c German Emperor, $d 1859-1941 $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 07 $a William $b II, $c German Emperor, $d 1859-1941. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00005751 600 07 $a Wilhelm $b II. $c Deutsches Reich, Kaiser $d 1859-1941 $2 gnd 650 0 $a War crime trials $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a War crime trials $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a International criminal law $x History. 650 0 $a Justice, Administration of $x History. 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Europe $x Western. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a International criminal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01784719 650 7 $a Justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00985154 650 7 $a War crime trials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170459 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 650 7 $a VoÂlkerrecht $2 gnd 650 7 $a Kriegsverbrechen $2 gnd 650 7 $a Prozess $2 gnd 650 7 $a 86.46 international criminal law. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077608127 $2 nbc 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628. 655 7 $a Trials, litigation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423712. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020024731.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190605011303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A254DB8E462211E9A3F20F6897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
