Just last week, the International Criminal Tribunal for
former Yugoslavia (ICTY) upheld
the conviction of former Serbian General Tolimir for genocide. The former
general is expected to remain incarcerated for the rest of his life. Although
the decision was delivered without much fanfare, not every recent decision by
the ICTY has been free from intrigue. The New York Times covered
a heated row among court judges along national lines. The spat resulted in a
judge being disqualified from a
case.
With national ties playing a role in international courts,
the question becomes how should judges be selected to avoid international
disagreements? Please join the American Society of International Law on April
24, 2015 as they answer
that very question. The panel includes a former judge of the International
Criminal tribunal for former Yugoslavia, and the executive director of the
Center for Justice and International law. Try not to miss it!
