Eliott Behar grew up in Toronto. A long-standing interest in human rights and criminal justice led him to a career as a Crown prosecutor. In 2008 he became a war crimes prosecutor for the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. He lives in San Francisco.
Tell It to the World is a haunting and poignant and remarkable
book. To read it is to gain some greater understanding of
humanity.
*Blacklocks Reporter*
Tell It to the World is a difficult read, but a necessary one,
given that, to paraphrase Life magazine’s rationale for publishing
Robert Capa’s graphic 1930s Spanish Civil War photographs, the dead
need to be spoken about so that they did not die in vain.
*Quill & Quire*
With the clarity and precision honed through the writing of
countless legal briefs, Behar makes his case by leading us from the
operations of the ICTY, the trial records of massacres that took
place in Kosovo in 1999 and the efforts made to hide the bodies to
a profound meditation on the implications of "justice."
*Winnipeg Free Press*
