On Rustam Atadjanov's "Humanness as a Protected Legal Interest of Crimes Against Humanity: Conceptual and Normative Aspects"

Abstract

This article reviews Atadjanov's book titled "Humanness as a Protected Legal Interest of Crimes Against Humanity." The author includes an analysis of the concept of humanity in the context of international criminal law literature in both conceptual and normative terms. Stating the need for a universal definition of "humanity" in the context of positive law, Atadjanov aims at a theory of humanity that can be applied internationally and domestically. Throughout the monograph, both detailed and comprehensive questioning of "humanity" is often encountered. In this review, an overview of the book, the author's achievement in the theoretical, conceptual, and abstract examination, and the points leading a question mark in terms of applicability and practice are mentioned. This book review is a predominantly descriptive analysis, and the reviewer's only wish with this critical question mark in practical and cultural terms is to humbly conduce toward new questions that would lead future studies in this field.
