From
Nuremberg to Phnom Penh, humanitarian law over the past 60 years has developed
almost exclusively in international (or hybrid) tribunals). What about within
domestic legal systems? International tribunals, for all of their virtues,
continue to be extraordinary, existing as it were above the "legal
fray." This has ramifications for the reception, implementation and
respect for humanitarian law. This panel will investigate how domestic courts
handle war crimes, crimes against humanity, and other atrocities. What are the
virtues and drawbacks of domestic adjudication? Does this lead to a stronger
respect for humanitarian law?
