Paperback || Joop Verstraten || Elikser B.V. Uitgeverij || met inkijkexemplaar

Genocide, etnische zuivering, volkerenmoord, massamoord, uitroeiing - welke term van toepassing is, mogen de juristen van het Internationaal Strafhof uitmaken.

Een van de belangrijkste actoren bij de tragedie rond de Rohingya is Aung San Suu Kyi, de vrouw aan wie 25 jaar geleden de Nobelprijs voor de Vrede werd toegekend. In zijn eerdere boek over Myanmar ('De Boeddh...
