22 Oct Coding Justice? The Tradeoffs of Using Technology for Documenting Crimes in Ukraine
and the person who recorded the footage. They also want to limit access to the information and its circulation. Addressing the needs of these two constituencies so war crimes footage is effectively used for justice and accountability is one of the principal challenges when developing this type of documentation technology. For instance, anonymity of the individuals collecting information is a difficult feature to balance with the demands of justice. Individuals recording the footage may want to stay anonymous because of genuine threats to their personal safety. They may not want...
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

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. By 2020, Mr. Stanišić, whose original trial was plagued with ill-health and resulting delays, including findings of unfitness that...27 Jun Justice Scalia on Those “Sanctimonious” Europeans

Indeed, the contributions in this symposium are part of a larger project to mobilise legal scholarship in service of justice, but they must be accompanied by collective action. The fight for justice in Palestine is not just a regional issue; it is a global one that speaks to the heart of what international law should stand for.
