Description: Law and Irresponsibility : On the Legitimation of Human Suffering, Paperback by Veitch, Scott, ISBN 0415442516, ISBN-13 9780415442510, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Veitch (law, U. of Glasgow) notes that law and legal institutions are commonly thought of as organizing, defining, and limiting responsibility. However, the author takes the opposite approach: that law organizes irresponsibly and by doing so can cause massive human suffering. The author focuses on large-scale harm, including human rights violations, forms of colonialism, and environmental or nuclear devastation, to address how law and legal institutions work as much to deflect and disavow responsibility as they do to acknowledge them.
