Course Description:

NOTE: This seminar will meet once a week January 21-February 15 and March 4-April 26. Two additional class sessions will be scheduled once the add/drop period ends.

Individuals are increasingly subject to prosecution for violations of international humanitarian law (the law of armed conflict) both in national courts and, now more prominently, in international tribunals. The cases of Adolph Eichmann and Augusto Pinochet of Chile are the most famous examples of the first type of jurisdiction. The cases of Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia and Charles Taylor of Liberia illustrate the latter. We will examine the applicable law of international crimes; the choices of procedure for international courts; the powers to enforce orders and judgments of international courts; and the challenges posed by the complementary jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. We will also concentrate on the political dimensions of international criminal justice.
