What is Atrocity Speech Law?

In this discussion, Professor Gregory Gordon explains how his book “Atrocity Speech Law” seeks to revolutionize the way the law regulates the relationship between speech and core international crimes. In its current form, the law is a mess – haphazardly formed, misshapen and riddled with gaps. Through a ground-breaking “Unified Liability Theory,” Professor Gordon shows how the law can find the right balance between prevention, punishment and protection of legitimate expression.
