“This book, based on a large empirical survey, substantially enriches our understanding of what matters most to individuals who testify in international war crimes trials. By illuminating the perspectives of ICTY witnesses, in particular their views about ‘justice,’ Meernik and King have made a major contribution to the scholarly literature on mechanisms for seeking truth and redress in the aftermath of mass atrocities.”
