Imagination and reality Evil as a crime against humanity A responsibility to protect humanity from evil The international criminal court as a bulwark against evil Evil and world order : towards an agonistic global constitutionalism Tragedy and hope

Summary: This book reimagines, from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, why and how to confront mass atrocities in world politics. Drawing on Hannah Arendts conception of evil, it interprets and understands mass atrocities as 'evil in an 'Arendtian sense, that is, as crimes against human plurality and, thus, crimes against humanity itself. This understanding of mass atrocities paves the way for reframing responses to mass atrocities as attempts to confront evil. In doing so, the book focuses on military intervention under the banner of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and judicial intervention by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and reframes them as tools to protect human plurality from evil. The book also looks at the place and the role of R2P and the ICC in the changing landscape of world order. It argues that the protection of humanity from evil can serve as a legitimate basic norm around which a global constitutional order in an inherently pluralistic world can be constructed
