The book traces the inquiry process from establishment and interpretation of the mandate to legal analysis, production of findings and recommendations. The research finds that the turn to international law fundamentally shapes the roles and functions of UN atrocity inquiries. Inquiries continuously navigate between realms of law and politics, with the equilibrium shifting in different moments and contexts. 410 0$aLeiden studies on the frontiers of international law ;$vv. 6. 606 $aCriminal investigation (International law) 606 $aPolitical atrocities 606 $aInternational commissions of inquiry 606 $aWar crimes investigation 606 $aRohingya (Burmese people)$xCrimes against$zBurma 615 0$aCriminal investigation (International law) 615 0$aPolitical atrocities. 615 0$aInternational commissions of inquiry. 615 0$aWar crimes investigation. 615 0$aRohingya (Burmese people)$xCrimes against 676 $a345.052 700 $aHarwood$b Catherine$f1985-$01527426 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bCaOLU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795281603321 996 $aThe roles and functions of atrocity-related United Nations commissions of inquiry in the international legal order$93770231 997 $aUNINA
