Quotes by Andrew Clapham  (?)

“The category of crimes against humanity was used in the 1945 Nuremberg Charter to ensure that the deportation of Germans by Germans to the concentration camps, and their subsequent mistreatment and extermination, could be prosecuted. Under the international laws of war at that time, the way in which a government treated its own nationals (no matter how heinous) was considered by international law as exclusively a matter of domestic jurisdiction, rather than an issue of international concern.”
Andrew Clapham, Human Rights: A Very Short Introduction

“Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.”
Andrew Clapham, Human Rights: A Very Short Introduction
