The fall of dictatorial regimes and the eruption of destructive civil conflicts around the world have led to calls for holding individuals accountable for human rights atrocities. International law had little to say on this subject from the time of the Nuremberg and Tokyo trials 50 years ago until very recently.

After applying their conclusions in a detailed case study, the authors offer a series of conclusions on the prospects for accountability.
