Zusammenfassung:
The international crime of 'crimes against humanity' has become integral to contemporary political and legal discourse. However, the conceptual core of the term-an act offending against all of mankind-runs deep in the history of international political thought. In an original excavation of this history, 'The Humanity of Universal Crime' examines theoretical mobilizations of the idea of 'universal crime' in colonial and post-colonial contexts. The book demonstrates the overlooked centrality of humanity and criminality to political liberalism's historical engagement with world politics, thereby breaking with the exhaustively studied status of individual rights in liberal thought.
