Free Download Bystander Society: Conformity and Complicity in Nazi Germany and the Holocaust by Mary Fulbrook

In this powerful and revelatory new work, historian Mary Fulbrook takes on one of the most fraught issues in modern times: the role of ordinary Germans in enabling the rise of Nazism and with it the exclusion, persecution, and then extermination of millions of people across Europe. The question often asked of the Nazi era-what and when did ordinary Germans know about the crimes being committed in their name?-is, Fulbrook argues, the wrong one. The real question is how they interpreted and acted-or failed to act-upon what they knew; and how, in the process, became complicit.

Free Download Adam LeBor, ""Complicity With Evil": The United Nations in the Age of Modern Genocide"
English | 2006 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0300111711, Paperback | EPUB | 1,8 mb
From the killing fields of Rwanda and Srebrenica a decade ago to those of Darfur today, the United Nations has repeatedly failed to confront genocide. This is evinced, author and journalist Adam LeBor maintains, in a May 1995 document from Yasushi Akashi, the most senior UN official in the field during the Yugoslav wars, in which he refused to authorize air strikes against the Serbs for fear they would "weaken" Milosevic. More recently, in 2003, urgent reports from UN officials in the Sudan detailing atrocities from Darfur were ignored for a year because they were politically inconvenient.

Free Download Complicity and Its Limits in the Law of International Responsibility By Vladyslav Lanovoy
2016 | 383 Pages | ISBN: 1782259406 | PDF | 3 MB
This book examines the responsibility of States and international organizations for complicity (aid or assistance) in an internationally wrongful act. Despite the recognition of responsibility for complicity as a rule of customary international law by the International Court of Justice, this book argues that the effectiveness and utility of this form of responsibility is fraught with systemic and operational limits. These limits include a lack of clarity in its constituent elements, its co-existence with primary rules prohibiting complicity and the obligations of due diligence, its implementation and the underlying causal tests, its uncertain relationship to other forms of shared and indirect responsibility, and its potential as a form of attribution of conduct. This book submits that the content and elements of this form of responsibility need adjustments to respond more effectively to the phenomenon of complicity in international affairs.

English | ASIN: B0BGMM3NZJ | 2023 | 13 hours and 54 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 396 MB
Author: Maureen Ryan
Narrator: Samara Naeymi
An exposé of patterns of harassment and bias in Hollywood, the grassroots reforms under way, and the labor and activist revolutions that recent scandals have ignited. It is never just One Bad Man. Abuse and exploitation of workers is baked into the very foundations of the entertainment industry. To break the cycle and make change that sticks, it’s important to stop looking at headline-making stories as individual events. Instead, one must look closely at the bigger picture, to see how abusers are created, fed, rewarded, allowed to persist, and, with the right tools, how they can be excised. In Burn It Down, veteran reporter Maureen Ryan does just that. She draws on decades of experience to connect the dots and illuminate the deeper forces sustaining Hollywood’s corrosive culture.
