BOOK



Ideas of collective responsibility challenge the doctrine of

individual responsibility that is the dominant paradigm in law

and liberal political theory. But little attention is given to

the consequences of holding groups accountable for wrongdoing

Groups are not amenable to punishment in the way that individuals

are. Can they be punished - and if so, how - or are other

remedies available? The topic crosses the borders of law

philosophy, and political science, and in this volume specialists

in all three areas contribute their perspectives. They examine

the limits of individual criminal liability in addressing

atrocity, the meanings of punishment and responsibility, the

distribution of group punishment to a group's members, and the

means by which collective accountability can be expressed. In

doing so, they reflect on the legacy of the Nuremberg Trials, on

the philosophical understanding of collective responsibility, and

on the place of collective accountability in international

political relations
