The U.S. Civil War is not only the history of Americans killing Americans on the battlefields, but also a drama of cause and effect and how the conflict perpetually changed the lives of the people, communities, and a national conscience. But do people have the awareness and understanding of the overall nature and upshots of it? Aimed at providing readers with valuable information on the Civil War, the rise and spread of slavery, and other relevant issues, author Walter F. Urbanek presents his book entitled Conviction Against Convention. Quick-witted and neatly written, Conviction Against Convention is an educational tool that offers a plethora of information on the Civil War. Urbanek’s major goal is to provide the readers with a comprehensive description of the institution of slavery that led up to the war. He points out the mobilization for war, a soldier’s life in camp, their music, the naval warfare, the battles they fought, and their weapons. He also shares about the life of the prisoners of war and how they suffered from various inhumane conditions. In this book, Urbanek offers a vivid portrayal of how economics encouraged not only the use of slavery, but also provoked a certain belief related to racism and bigotry. Serving as a mirror into the past, this book is also designed for the veterans to be able to relate to the fears, sorrows, and joys of those who had stepped forward to accept the challenge. It provides a glimpse of the lives of the commanding generals responsible for organizing, equipping, training, planning, implementing and leading their command in war against the enemy. “It is my hope that when the reader completes the book, he or she will have a better understanding and appreciation for the soldiers who participated in America’s bloodiest and most costly war – a war fought not against nations, but rather pitting brother against brother and conviction against convention,” Urbanek stated adding to his hope that Conviction Against Convention will open the minds of the people to prevent the failures and sins of their ancestors from recurring.

The Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 9 December 1948, is one of the most important instruments of contemporary international law. It was drafted in the aftermath of the Nuremberg trial to give flesh and blood to the well-known dictum of the International Military Tribunal, according to which 'Crimes against international law are committed by men, not by abstract entities, and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law be enforced'. At Nuremberg, senior state officials who had committed heinous crimes on behalf or with the protection of their state were brought to trial for the first time in history and were held personally accountable regardless of whether they acted in their official capacity. The drafters of the Convention on Genocide crystallized the results of the Nuremberg trial and thus ensured its legacy. The Convention established a mechanism to hold those who committed or participated in the commission of genocide, the crime of crimes, criminally responsible. Almost fifty years before the adoption of the Rome Statute, the Convention laid the foundations for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. It also obliged its Contracting Parties to criminalize and punish genocide. This book is a much-needed Commentary on the Genocide Convention. It analyzes and interprets the Convention thematically, thoroughly covering every article, drawing on the Convention's travaux preparatoires and subsequent developments in international law. The most complex and important provisions of the Convention, including the definitions of genocide and genocidal acts, have more than one contribution dedicated to them, allowing the Commentary to explore all aspects of these concepts. The Commentary also goes beyond the explicit provisions of the Convention to discuss topics such as the retroactive application of the Convention, its status in customary international law and its future.
