Commentary on the judgment of the ICTY Appeals Chamber in the case of Prosecutor v. Radislav Krstic

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

The author critically reviews the major issues dealt with on appeal in this important case, arguing that the law of genocide was mistated not only at the trial level but also on appeal. The international criminal tribunals (both for Rwanda and Yugoslavia) have failed to articulate a coherent jurisprudence on the law of genocide. The argument presented in this essay is taken to a more general level in the author's contribution to Paola Gaeta's recent edition of essays: The UN Genocide Convention: A Commentary (Oxford Commentaries on International Law).
