Synopsis of The Case of the Pope: Vatican Accountability for Human Rights Abuse

«The Case of the Pope» is Geoffrey Robertson's legal essay, published by Penguin Books in paperback (238 pages, in English).

Geoffrey Robertson, lawyer and human rights judge, analyses the secret legal system with which the Vatican allegedly protected paedophile priests from criminal justice. The essay questions whether the Pope and the Holy See are responsible for that impunity and whether their immunity can keep them above the law in the face of human rights.

The book was published in 2010 and belongs to the «A Penguin Special» collection from Penguin, with thematic categories of law, history and religion.

For readers interested in human rights, international law and criticism of the Catholic Church's handling of sexual abuse.
