Ending War Crimes, Chasing the War Criminals

This chapter looks at the character of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi who ran the concentration camps. It is an intriguing story of his fleeing to Brazil at war's end, living incognito for many years and then being ousted by his son's half-Jewish girlfriend. He was kidnapped and spirited out of Argentina by Israeli agents, tried and executed. Chapter 2: Himmler was Hitler's deputy. This is the story of his boyhood, his growing up and his emergence in adulthood as a top Nazi who personally ordered the killing of millions of Jews. It asks the question how could a gentle and respectful boy and young man coming from a sober middle class, Catholic family, so change his personality in such a short time. Chapter 3: Modern day war crimes punishment began with the Nuremberg trials at the end of World War 2 when senior Nazis were put on trial. Today, after a long gestation period, there is now the International War Crimes Court where alleged war criminals can be tried and sentenced to imprisonment. Chapter 4: This chapter examines the role played by some of Africa's major war criminals and how they came to trial-latterly in the International Criminal Court (ICC). Chapter 5: The Western world has its alleged war criminals too. The chapter begins with Robert McNamara who was President Kennedy's secretary of defence and a key player in the war in Vietnam. Later in life he accused himself publicly of having committed war crimes. Then follows portraits of Henry Kissinger, George W. Bush and Tony Blair who many believe are war criminals that should be arrested and sent for trial. Chapter 6: Ariel Sharon was once Israel's most important general scourge of the Arab armies and, later, prime minister. He had no compunction about admitting the atrocities he had committed and defended himself vigorously. Chapter 7: Guatemala, said the secretary-general of Amnesty International, was a country with "no political prisoners only political killings". The author was the journalist responsible for proving that the president of Guatemala was personally directing the death squads which decimated many Indian villages and opposition figures. Over 30 years the author has continued to visit Guatemala and monitor the slow, incremental, improvement in human rights. It has often been one step forward and two steps back but now the courts appear to be taking a firm and courageous stand, convicting many war criminals including a former president.
