International Criminal Justice - What Can It Achieve?

[Dover]

Well this is interesting. An audio of a conference held on Nov. 1 examining the pros and cons of international justice systems, hosted by a K-Street think tank whose board of trustees includes the likes of Sam Nunn, Brzezinski, Schlesinger, Kissinger, John Hamre, R. Armitage, Scowcroft, David Rubenstein (of Carlyle Group) to name a few, in partnership with The Holocaust Museum and others.
Gee, do you think they'll grapple with the issues of illegal invasions and civilian slaughter in Iraq?.......Nah.

Description:

After the fighting but before the peace, the international justice system addresses the past and the future. Does post-conflict criminal justice rebalance communities or re-inspire aggression? Do criminal tribunals build the foundation for a new system based on respect for law and order, and in so doing prevent future conflict? What have been the successes, failures, and lessons learned thus far?

CSIS's Post-Conflict Reconstruction Project and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum hosted an event on international criminal justice. The speakers were:

Stephen Rapp, chief of prosecutions, International Criminal Tribunal-Rwanda
Michael Johnson, former chief of prosecutions, International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia; registrar; War Crimes Chamber in Sarajevo

Bridget Conley-Zilkic, project director, Committee on Conscience, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, provided an introduction and remarks.
