It is also about a rare success in bringing such violence to an end. \u003cem\u003eIf You Leave Us Here, We Will Die\u003c\/em\u003e tells the story of East Timor, a half-island that suffered genocide after Indonesia invaded in 1975, and which was again laid to waste after the population voted for independence from Indonesia in 1999.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore international forces intervened, more than half the population had been displaced and 1,500 people killed. Geoffrey Robinson, an expert in Southeast Asian history, was in East Timor with the United Nations in 1999 and provides a gripping first-person account of the violence, as well as a rigorous assessment of the politics and history behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRobinson debunks claims that the militias committing the violence in East Timor acted spontaneously, attributing their actions instead to the calculation of Indonesian leaders, and to a \"culture of terror\" within the Indonesian army.

Despite some early twenty-first century successes, including the 2005 United Nations endorsement of the Responsibility to Protect, the project has been placed into jeopardy due to catastrophes in such places as Syria, Myanmar, and Yemen; resurgent nationalism; and growing global antagonism. In \u003ci\u003eSharing Responsibility\u003c\/i\u003e, Luke Glanville seeks to diagnose the current crisis in international protection by exploring its long and troubled history. With attention to ethics, law, and politics, he measures what possibilities remain for protecting people wherever they reside from atrocities, despite formidable challenges in the international arena.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a focus on Western natural law and the European society of states, Glanville shows that the history of the shared responsibility to protect is marked by courageous efforts, as well as troubling ties to Western imperialism, evasion, and abuse. The project of safeguarding vulnerable populations can undoubtedly devolve into blame shifting and hypocrisy, but can also spark effective burden sharing among nations. Glanville considers how states should support this responsibility, whether it can be coherently codified in law, the extent to which states have embraced their responsibilities, and what might lead them to do so more reliably in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSharing Responsibility\u003c\/i\u003e wrestles with how countries should care for imperiled people and how the ideal of the responsibility to protect might inspire just behaviour in an imperfect and troubled world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849958379756,"sku":"9780691205021","price":69.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2037353482434.jpg?v=1759067376"},{"product_id":"the-killing-season-by-geoffrey-b-robinson-9780691196497","title":"The Killing Season","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe definitive account of one of the twentieth century's most brutal, yet least examined, episodes of genocide and detention, \u003cem\u003eThe Killing Season\u003c\/em\u003e explores one of the largest and swiftest, yet least examined, instances of mass killing and incarceration in the twentieth century—the shocking antileftist purge that gripped Indonesia in 1965-66, leaving some five hundred thousand people dead and more than a million others in detention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn expert in modern Indonesian history, genocide, and human rights, Geoffrey Robinson sets out to account for this violence and to end the troubling silence surrounding it.
