Judicial Creativity at the International Criminal Tribunals
Friday 11 February 2011 at 5:00 pm at the Irish Centre for Human Rights.
Oxford University Press have just published Judicial Creativity at
the International Criminal Tribunals, a collection of essays edited by
Dr Shane Darcy, a lecturer at the Irish Centre for Human Rights, and
Joe Powderly, a researcher at the TMC Asser Institute and a doctoral
candidate at the Centre. This edited collection examines the
contribution made by the judges of the Yugoslavia and Rwanda Tribunals
to the development of international criminal law at an important
juncture in the field. As the caseload grows for the International
Criminal Court and the international criminal justice project continues
to flourish, it is important to take stock of the achievements to date
of international criminal bodies. This collection of essays provides a
thoughtful analysis by judges, practitioners, and scholars of
international criminal law of the profound changes in the field enacted
by the judges of the International Criminal Tribunals for Rwanda and
the Former Yugoslavia.
