It revolves around three basic questions: What happens when states become oppressive and the judiciary contributes to the oppression? How can we, from a legal point of view, evaluate the actions of judges who contribute to oppression? And, thirdly, how can we understand their participation from a moral point of view and support their inclination to resist? 606 $aLaw?Philosophy 606 $aLaw 606 $aInternational criminal law 606 $aFundamentals of Law$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11003 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R11011 606 $aInternational Criminal Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19040 615 0$aLaw?Philosophy. 615 0$aLaw. 615 0$aInternational criminal law. 615 14$aFundamentals of Law. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aInternational Criminal Law . 676 $a340 676 $a340.1 676 $a345 700 $aGraver$b Hans Petter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0532180 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484882703321 996 $aJudges Against Justice$92853956 997 $aUNINA
