Designing Criminal Tribunals
Sovereignty and International Concerns in the Protection of Human Rights
Overview
Tracing the development of international humanitarian law especially since World War II, this volume focuses on the role of the international community in crafting international and mixed war crimes tribunals. It examines the cases of the former Yugoslavia, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Cambodia and East Timor.
Tribunals and Political Environment
These tribunals are legal institutions embedded within a political environment in which the need for nation-state consensus can undermine their judicial effectiveness and ultimately the quest for justice.
Key Themes
One of the principal themes examined is how the demands of state sovereignty and finance have contributed to the constant innovation of these tribunals.
Unique Coverage
This is the only book available covering the breadth of cases and it places these institutions within the general development of international humanitarian law.
