Public Lecture
Wayne Jordash QC will talk about the compromises that International Criminal Law and International Justice as a whole makes and has to make with regard to victims rights as a result of the tension between justice for an accused and justice for victims e.g. the most obvious is the choice of only the top commanders for trial but there are many others e.g. use of mid-ranking perpetrators chosen to be prosecution witnesses and given de facto immunity from prosecution themselves; lack of money for reparations, etc.
Wayne is a British lawyer and has practiced for 20 years in the international human rights and humanitarian law fields. His clients include governments, international organizations (e.g., the UN and the Council of Europe), NGO’s, corporations and individuals.
Over the last decade, he has appeared in most of the international tribunals, including the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) and has extensive experience in advising on international law arising from conflict affected areas and other high-risk environments. Individual clients have included the head of Serbia’s state security (Stanišić) at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), a Rwandan mayor (Bagilishema) and government minister (Bagaragaza) at the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and the leader of the Sierra Leonean Revolutionary United Front’s (RUF) rebel army (Sesay) at the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL).
Refreshments will be available.
