The new edition of Openspace magazine dedicated to 'International Criminal Justice' is out. According to the Editors:
The current Openspace on International Criminal Justice
has a wealth of information, analysis and comment about this critical
and increasingly controversial concept. And there is something for
everyone – from a succinct Beginner's Guide to a sweeping overview of
developments in the field to academic articles on a diverse range of
issues.
In addition to my modest contribution (A Beginners Guide to International Criminal Law) there are a number of interesting articles as well, covering inter alia:
- the dispute between the
International Criminal Court and Africa,
or more specifically the African Union (and the role of the new Prosecutor in it, if any); - the role that the African Court on Justice and Human Rights can and should
play in relation to international crimes; - lessons to be learned from the experiences of the mixed tribunal in Cambodia;
- the successes and failures of the outreach programme conducted by the
Special Court on Sierra Leone; - the post-ICTR duty of African states (if any) to apprehend and prosecute
suspected genocidaires; - the trial and conviction of Lt. Colonel Kibibi for rape and crimes against
humanity in the DRC (and an award-winning set of photos); - the long search for justice by the victims of the infamous Kilwa massacre,
who took their case against a Canadian-Australian mining company to the Quebec
courts; - the prosecution of Grand Corruption as an international crime.
All of the articles can be downloaded here. Alternatively, Openspace can be ordered from the Open Society Initiative of Southern Africa. A copy of my Beginners Guide is available here. While I make no warranty regarding the content, the Monocle-inspired graphics are great!
