Course Information

Description

Prerequisites: Public international law is helpful but is not a prerequisite.

Exam Type: In Class

In this course we will study the creation and development of the international criminal law project, focusing on international criminal law, institutions, and procedure from Nuremberg, through the ad-hoc international tribunals of the 1990s, hybrid institutions and other mechanisms, and finally the International Criminal Court. How are these institutions created? What law do they apply and how does the law evolve? What procedures do they adopt? Ultimately what is the purpose of international criminal tribunals and can they be successful?
