Mullahs without Mercy: Human Rights and Nuclear Weapons

Geoffrey Robertson, QC

\n- What is worse: Iran getting the bomb or the US bombing\nIran?\n- Will our children ever live in a world without nukes?\n- Can states that mass-murder their own people be trusted with a\nweapon that mass-murders?\n- Will a nuclear explosion change the climate before climate\nchange does?\n\n

In Mullahs Without Mercy, Geoffrey Robertson explores these and\nother awesome questions that arise from Iran’s potential for\nacquiring the bomb. The scramble for nuclear weapons by brutal or\nunstable regimes poses the clearest present danger to the peace and\nthe climate of the world.

\n

This ground-breaking study exposes Iran’s crimes against\nprisoners and dissidents, perpetrated by the very same mullahs who\nmay soon have their fingers on nuclear triggers. But it argues that\nthe US has no legal right to attack, as Israel – hypocritically\nhiding its own nuclear arsenal – demands. In this vividly written\nand authoritative book, one of our highest-profile legal minds\nshows how the mushroom cloud hovering over the Middle East might\nyet have a silver lining – forcing the world to reassert the rule\nof international law, which could lead to the elimination of a\nweapon with the power to destroy us all.
