Description
At 20 years on from the signing of the Rome Statute, with the winding down of the UN International Criminal Tribunals and the emergence of calls for new hybrid or special criminal tribunals (for ISIS, for Syria) and the proliferation of attempts to bring war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide cases before domestic courts, this panel will analyse the challenges and obstacles that criminal justice currently faces at the international level, and whether the future of international justice lies on an international, hybrid or domestic trajectory.
