The specialized vocabularies of lawyers, ethicists, and political scientists obscure the roots of many real disagreements. In this book, the distinguished American international lawyer Alfred Rubin provides a penetrating account of where these roots lie, and argues powerfully that disagreements which have existed for 3,000 years are unlikely to be resolved soon. Attempts to make 'war crimes' or 'terrorism' criminal under international law seem doomed to fail for the same reasons that attempts failed in the early nineteenth century to make piracy, war crimes, and the international traffic in slaves criminal under the law of nations. And for the same reasons, Professor Rubin argues, it is unlikely that an international criminal court can be instituted today to enforce ethicists' versions of 'international law'.

The Greatest Works of W.E.B. Du Bois is a comprehensive collection of essays, speeches, and manifestos by the prominent African American sociologist, historian, and civil rights activist. Du Bois' literary style is eloquent and thought-provoking, addressing issues of race, social justice, and the African American experience in America. This collection of writings provides invaluable insights into the struggles faced by African Americans during the early 20th century and remains relevant in modern times. The book is a testament to Du Bois' intellectual prowess and his commitment to challenging the status quo through his written work. W.E.B. Du Bois, a founding member of the NAACP, was a trailblazer in the fight for civil rights and racial equality. His personal experiences as an African American scholar and activist shaped his writing, giving voice to the marginalized and oppressed. Du Bois' dedication to social justice is evident in his powerful and influential works, making him a key figure in American history. I highly recommend The Greatest Works of W.E.B. Du Bois to readers interested in African American history, civil rights movements, and social activism. Du Bois' timeless writings offer a deep understanding of the racial struggles faced by African Americans and the ongoing quest for equality and justice in society.
