05 Aug Complementarity, Catalysts, Compliance Symposium: A View from Kenya
...of the ICC’s effectiveness. The perceived duty to legislate, investigate and prosecute ICC crimes has similarly placed the Rome Statute at the textual heart of accountability discussions, with less attention paid to other forms of criminal conduct. Thus, while complementarity might have initially encouraged some of the plural approaches more commonly associated with transitional justice, a de facto form of ICC primacy has instead taken root.” Could this approach have stunted other processes that could have provided some accountability reparation and catharsis for victims of the Post- Election violence? Some...18 Jun Mark Kersten’s New Book on the ICC
framework to study the Court’s effects on peace, justice, and conflict processes. This framework is applied to two cases: Libya and northern Uganda. Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the core of the book examines the empirical effects of the ICC on each case. The book also examines why the ICC has the effects that it does, delineating the relationship between the interests of states that refer situations to the Court and the ICC’s institutional interests, arguing that the negotiation of these interests determines which side of a conflict the ICC targets...
21 May Delivering the ICC Vision Through Deeds not Words: An Interview with Karim Khan QC
...but also to drive reform where this is necessary.” I note that as an ICC defence lawyer, and even though he has not practised at the ICC for five years, Khan has still represented more defendants than any other lawyer. Yet, I suggest, ‘crossing the floor’ will represent a challenge for Khan because in defending his clients, he has had cause to criticise the investigations and conduct of the very office he will now be heading up, for example in the Ruto case where he said in his opening statement...10 Feb Opposition to the ICC Equals Condoning Genocide?
aspect of her article is Power’s obvious contempt for the Bush Administration, which undercuts her otherwise very persuasive piece. In a very unfair (but effective) phrase, she accuses the Bush Administration of not being able to decide whether it dislikes “genocide” more than the ICC. This is unfair because she is equating opposition to the ICC with condoning genocide. The ICC may be great, but surely Power must concede there are some reasonable objections to the ICC and that one can still want to prosecute genocide while still opposing the...
16 Feb Prosecuting Wagner Group War Crimes at the International Criminal Court? A Procedural Perspective
...to remain in country under witness protection auspices; the ICC itself has very little ability or capacity to safeguard Salikov on its own. The threat to Salikov’s life also means that the ICC must work quickly to preserve its interviews and testimony so that these can be used in later proceedings even if Salikov later becomes unavailable. Conclusion: The ICC has a Historic Opportunity to Advance the Ukraine Investigation and Bring Justice for Wagner Group War Crimes Elsewhere For years the world has watched in horror as the Wagner Group...29 Oct A Dissenting Opinion on the ICC and Burundi
a legal duty to cooperate with the Court’s inquiry even after the State Party has left the Court, and (2) the State Party’s departure cannot prejudice the Court’s “consideration of any matter” that was already underway before departure. The “Court” in the Rome Statute refers to the entire ICC, including the Prosecutor, and not just the judges. I disagree. There is no question that “the Court” sometimes refers to “the entire ICC,” such as when the Rome Statute is referring generically to the ICC’s location or international legal personality. Indeed,...
