Leonor Esteves’s book Crímenes de Lesa Humanidad. Genealogía de un Concepto Jurídico-Filosófico Contemporâneo [Crimes against humanity. Genealogy of a contemporary legal-philosophical concept], has just been published in Spain, by the publisher REUS.

In this volume, JusGov’s researcher Leonor Esteves analyzes the historical, political and cultural conditions that accompanied the genesis of some of the normative instruments created after the Second World War, where the definition of crimes against humanity is established for the first time, to legitimize the criminal responsibility of the perpetrators of atrocities committed under the aegis of authoritarian and nationalist political regimes.
