Sclerosis: Retributive Justice And The Rwandan Genocide, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 2000

Sclerosis: Retributive Justice And The Rwandan Genocide, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In the 1994 Rwandan genocide 800,000 people were massacred. The victims were overwhelmingly of the minority Tutsi ethnic group and the aggressors of the majority Hutu group. At present, 125,000 Hutu prisoners remain incarcerated while awaiting trial on genocide-related charges. This article argues that these trials, and the extensive incapacitation that necessarily precedes them, may do little to promote justice, regime legitimacy, or national reconciliation in Rwanda. This, in turn, raises broader questions about the role of criminal punishment and sentencing in situations of mass violence. Criminality usually attaches to deviant conduct. Mass political violence -- from Nazi Germany to …


The Un, Nato, And International Law After Kosovo, Mary Ellen O'Connell Jan 2000

The Un, Nato, And International Law After Kosovo, Mary Ellen O'Connell

Notre Dame Lawyers Connect

NATO's decision on 13 October 1998 to use force in Yugoslavia and its subsequent use of force beginning on 24 March 1999 were inconsistent with both the explicit terms of the United Nations Charter and Security Council practice. Most of NATO's member states have argued that the situation was exceptional and should have no bearing on the future need for Security Council authorization. Not so the United States; US officials have not spoken of an exception. Several high-ranking officials of the Clinton Administration have stated that they do not recognize the necessity for Security Council authorization when NATO takes enforcement …

The Extradition Proceedings Against General Pinochet: A Case Study In The Emerging International System Of Criminal Justice, Lee _ Jan 2000

The Extradition Proceedings Against General Pinochet: A Case Study In The Emerging International System Of Criminal Justice, Lee _

Richmond Public Interest Law Review

The ruling of the House of Lords that General Pinochet can be extradited to Spain to stand trial for crimes against humanity lends support to the emerging theory of universal jurisdiction for certain crimes under international law. The following discussion of the elements of General Pinochet's case will show that the international community, by and large, is willing to sacrifice some national sovereignty in order to eradicate torture and other human rights violations. It will do so through an elucidation of the concepts of jus cogens, international ethics, head of state immunity, human rights crimes, universal jurisdiction, and extradition.

Punishment Goes Global: International Criminal Law, Conflict Zones, And Gender (In)Equality, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 2000

Punishment Goes Global: International Criminal Law, Conflict Zones, And Gender (In)Equality, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

The creation of the International Criminal Court (ICC) enables the international community to hold accountable those who inflict violence in the form of sexual and ethnic hatred. Drawing on case studies from Rwanda and Bosnia, the author observes the extent to which retributive criminal justice can deter offenders and foster structural societal change.

War Crimes And The Limits Of Legalism, Gary Jonathan Bass May 1999

War Crimes And The Limits Of Legalism, Gary Jonathan Bass

Michigan Law Review

In April 1945, Sir John Simon, Britain's Lord Chancellor, drew up a memorandum that was the last gasp in the diplomatic struggle against Nuremberg. Under American pressure, and despite British objections, the Allies were poised to agree to put the Axis leadership on trial for war crimes. In the kind of magnificent understatement that the British government could sometimes inadvertently achieve, it was entitled "The Argument for Summary Process against Hitler & Co." The memorandum was a series of arguments to be used by the British delegation at the San Francisco conference in a last-ditch effort to win over the …

Global Trends In Privacy Protection: An International Survey Of Privacy, Data Protection, And Surveillance Laws And Developments, 18 J. Marshall J. Computer & Info. L. 1 (1999), David Banisar, Simon Davies

UIC John Marshall Journal of Information Technology & Privacy Law

The right to privacy is one of the most fundamental rights recognized. References to privacy date back to ancient Greece and China. Rapid advances in information technology and high-speed data networks have had an enormous impact on privacy. Today, personal medical and financial information can easily be transmitted with and without the one knowing. Can privacy law keep up with these changes and challenges? Privacy advocates are concerned. Nearly every country in the world has some form of privacy provision in its constitution. However, the definition of privacy differs from context and environment. The authors chronicle the status of privacy …


Sobriety In A Post‐Genocidal Society: Good Neighborliness Among Victims And Aggressors In Rwanda?, Mark A. Drumbl Jan 1999

Sobriety In A Post‐Genocidal Society: Good Neighborliness Among Victims And Aggressors In Rwanda?, Mark A. Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Now as Rwanda begins to mourn the firth anniversary of its genocide, it should also celebrate the fifth anniversary of its survival. As time passes, Rwanda enters a stage of social and historical development which can be referred to as the "post-genocidal" stage. Some would say that Rwanda is actually in an intra-genocidal phase, given the persistence of Hutu rebel insurrection throughout the country, specifically in the Ruhengeri prefecture of the north-west. Although the merits of this classification can be debated, fatalistically characterizing Rwanda to be intra-genocidal assumes an ability to look in the future, a task no scholar is …


The International Legal Implications Of "Non-Lethal" Weapons, David P. Fidler Jan 1999

The International Legal Implications Of "Non-Lethal" Weapons, David P. Fidler

Michigan Journal of International Law

In this Article, the author attempts a comprehensive international legal analysis of "non-lethal" weapons to raise awareness about how many international legal issues they create and about the complexity of analyzing the international legality of the development and use of these weapons. In short, the emergence of "non-lethal" weapons does not rescue international law from its crisis in connection with controlling war. Indeed, in some respects, the coming of "non-lethal" weapons threatens to deepen that crisis in new and disturbing ways.
