What images of suffering and of responsible actors arise instead from the humanitarianism and diplomacy fields? How are these competing perspectives communicated to the public via mass media?

Representing Mass Violence contributes to our understanding of how the world acknowledges and responds to violence in the Global South"--Provided by publisher "How do UN Security Council and International Criminal Court interventions, both part of the Justice Cascade, color representations of mass violence?
