Hebert considers the Nuremberg trials as establishing a paradigm for dealing judicially with genocide and other atrocities. Evaluates the goals of such legal proceedings in the Nuremberg trials, the Eichmann trial and the Rwanda 'Gacaca'. Examines the social and psychological consequences of such trials, questioning the central assumption that recounting and hearing the truth about genocide and atrocity have a redemptive effect
