discuss throughout this article. Certainly this recognition is one that must be sought within a transitional justice scheme; it also demonstrates the ways in which progress regarding the role of gender in transitional justice may be incremental and context-specific. In the synthesis of gendered approaches to transitional justice that I outline in my article, I attempt not to undermine the importance of the revolutionary yet basic recognition that women are “human.” Instead, I demonstrate that this may be the starting point for transitional justice, and that mechanisms must build upon...18 Nov Guest Post: Williams & Mansoor–Bangladesh’s War Crimes Tribunal Isn’t About Justice
and offer remedies. But what is happening in Bangladesh demonstrates that justice sometimes is not just justice. The primary impact of the Tribunal will be shaping Bangladesh’ national identity; is it okay that this will be the legacy of the Tribunal? For most Bangladeshis, the question is not whether the trials uphold standards of justice, but whether justice, in the name of liberation, is done. What we should be watching closely is not just the Tribunal itself, but the way it contributes to the reshaping of the Bangladeshi national identity....
21 Nov To Which Transition and Justice to Whom? Towards Recognition of Transitional Justice in Israeli Case Law
Justice on the Jewish owners in the partial return they have gotten. Hence, the act of recognizing the property rights on the land to its original owners is a result of the “implementation of the Israeli law in Jerusalem and expresses the principals of transitional Justice”. [the translation is mine, L.W] A Critical Analysis of Recognition From a comparative outlook, in the resolution of many land disputes and conflicts when TJ was implemented, the land was returned and justice was made, materially, to victims towards property rights, although disputes on...05 Mar Square Pegs and Round Holes: Individuals and the FSIA

MILLETT: This act is good against - JUSTICE GINSBURG: -- I thought your point is, if the relief is against the state, it doesn't matter who you name as the plaintiff. MS.

...law if not in practice) by every country in the world except the US (before Roper) and Somalia. Now, I would think one can be a bit sanctimonious about that, but I'll try and resist the temptation. Regards, Marko Tobias Thienel I wonder if it is really a good idea for a judge to write this sort of thing. The tone certainly does not reflect too well either on the dignity of 'the honorable Justice' or, perhaps, the Court. Justice Scalia berates one of his colleagues on the Bench for...04 Jan Guest Post: Merry-Go-Round Justice–The Retrial of Stanišić and Simatović
...Putting aside these fiscal calculations, the Appeal Chamber’s decision seems to suggest (but neglects to reason) that due process considerations somehow also pointed inevitably to a retrial. Presumably, these include the rights of the accused and the witnesses and the interests of justice more generally. It is worthwhile examining those to gain a better view of the salient issues that constitute these (not mentioned, and apparently low priority) interests of justice.
