October Criminal Justice Series: International Human Rights and Prosecuting War Crimes
|
05:30 PM - 07:00 PM
Cost/fee: Free For the past few decades, there has been growth in international criminal justice, in part because of changes to the structure of the international justice system and also because of greater concern for human rights violations and war crimes within States’ borders. In 1998, a statute was passed that led to the creation of a permanent International Criminal Court. After a relatively brief period of time of prioritizing the prosecution of war crimes and legally responding to genocide, international justice seems to be fatiguing, with concerns about the effectiveness, costs, and amount of time taken by the investigations and trials. Are these concerns valid, and what are some of the possible responses? Join us for a conversation with Ken Scott, who has spent his career fighting large-scale injustices from white-collar crime to human rights violations and war crimes.
