The book makes the case that existing legal obligations constrain how the UN Security Council permanent members use their veto. Through the lens of atrocities occurring in Syria, Myanmar, Darfur, and elsewhere, the book outlines the parameters international law creates in situations of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.
