Faculty Articles and Other Publications
International criminal courts will be judged by their fairness to defendants as well as to victims. In a very practical way, such claims will hinge, inter alia, on the ability of prosecutors and defendants to have reasonable access to probative evidence. But international criminal courts depend on states to provide them with evidence or access to evidence. The obligation of states to cooperate with international criminal tribunals in the production of evidence was at issue in the recent decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in the Blaki case (1997). That judgment and the provisions of the …

The Jurisdiction Of The International Criminal Court Over Nationals Of Non-Party States, Madeline Morris
The Jurisdiction Of The International Criminal Court Over Nationals Of Non-Party States, Madeline Morris
Faculty Scholarship
This article questions the validity under international law of the provisions of the Treaty for an International Criminal Court (ICC) that purport to give the ICC jurisdiction over nationals of states that are not parties to the Treaty.

Each of those theories is found to be flawed. The article then questions whether there is in fact any …
