{"product_id":"9780773574809","title":"No Easy Fix: Global Responses to Internal Wars and Crimes Against Humanity","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe UN has adopted a \"responsibility to protect\" mandate for humanitarian intervention in civil wars - but there is no institutional basis for carrying out that mandate. Patricia Marchak argues that unless would-be interveners have an understanding of local issues, agents who speak local languages, and a military force fully prepared to undertake both peaceful and military missions on short notice, attempts by the UN or others to intervene are unlikely to succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile UN-sponsored international criminal courts have been largely successful in making leaders accountable for their actions, Marchak argues that they may not be the best means of bringing truth and reconciliation to survivors. Based on the principle of individual responsibility, they are not designed to deal with collective crimes against humanity and genocide, nor are they good instruments for dealing with societal breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo Easy Fix is essential reading for anyone concerned with how the international community deals with civil wars that involve serious crimes against humanity.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queens University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47108557766896,"sku":"9780773574809","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780773574809_p0.jpg?v=1763662174","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780773574809","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
