Prof. Dr. Cedric Ryngaert, module convener for International Criminal Law, has two special guest lectures planned as part of his module. These lectures are open to all students within reason but we do ask that you let Inez Summers know if you wish to attend.
On Friday 22 February, 17.00-19.00, Judge David Re, Judge at the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, will give a guest lecture on designing international criminal tribunals. In particular, he will discuss the advantages respectively drawbacks of atrocity trials in domestic courts, mixed/hybrid tribunals, and international criminal tribunals.
