In Defense Of Hybridity: Towards A Representational Theory Of International Criminal Justice, Frederic Megret Jan 2005

In Defense Of Hybridity: Towards A Representational Theory Of International Criminal Justice, Frederic Megret

Cornell International Law Journal

In this article in the Symposium on Milosevic & Hussein on Trial, the author proposes a critical & normative "representational theory" of what international criminals should be tried by in a hybrid tribunal framework that surpasses complementarity & primacy, & mitigates the lack of dimension in purely international or domestic trials.
