      abstract = {This book reimagines, from a critical and  interdisciplinary perspective, why and how to confront mass  atrocities in world politics. Drawing on Hannah Arendts  conception of evil, it interprets and understands mass  atrocities as 'evil in an 'Arendtian sense, that is, as  crimes against human plurality and, thus, crimes against  humanity itself. This understanding of mass atrocities  paves the way for reframing responses to mass atrocities as  attempts to confront evil. In doing so, the book focuses on  military intervention under the banner of the  Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and judicial intervention  by the International Criminal Court (ICC) and reframes them  as tools to protect human plurality from evil. The book  also looks at the place and the role of R2P and the ICC in  the changing landscape of world order. It argues that the  protection of humanity from evil can serve as a legitimate  basic norm around which a global constitutional order in an  inherently pluralistic world can be constructed.},
