Richard Ashby Wilson

Richard Ashby Wilson writes about international human rights and post-conflict justice, and his books have evaluated truth and reconciliation commissions and international criminal tribunals. His research on truth commissions focused on how successor governments struggle to write history and provide legal remedy. His book, Writing History in International Criminal Trials, selected by Choice in 2012 as an “Outstanding Academic Title” analyzed the ways in which international prosecutors and defense attorneys marshal historical evidence to advance their case. His 2017 book, Incitement On Trial: Prosecuting International Speech Crimes, combines law and empirical social science approaches to understand recent efforts by international courts to prosecute political leaders for inciting speech.
