International Criminal Justice: What Can it Achieve?

  • Wednesday, Nov 1, 2006

  • 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.
