International Judges
Since the last decade of the twentieth century the number of international and transnational judges has burgeoned. There are now in excess of 100 international courts and tribunals, with thousands of international judges who sit on them. They come from all corners of the globe and bring with them the experience of many systems of justice
Bosnia v. Serbia
This article uses the recent judgment of the ICJ in Bosnia v. Serbia to highlight the potential problems that arise when international courts have to adjudicate on overlapping situations. It describes the dispute between the ICJ and the ICTY on the appropriate legal standard for the attribution of state responsibility, and finds that the ICJ's approach in this case suggests that those keen to minimize the fragmentation of international law betwee…
Ambiguity and America
Richard Goldstone Ambiguity and America: South Africa and US Foreign Policy INTRODUCTION The relationship between South Africa (as represented by the majority of South Africans) and the United States has a complex history/ The reaction in the United States to racial oppression and racial discrimina tion, and the m anner in which it shaped the foreign policy ofthe United States with respect to Africa and South Africa in particular, reflects a lon…
Introductory Remarks
THESE are difficult days for international humanitarian law— indeed, for international law in its broader sense. The principal reason for this state of affairs lies not only in the technicalities or the fine points of international law. We have also witnessed a decline of human and humanitarian values. This decline of values has, in turn, led to an erosion of humanitarian principles. International humanitarian law works relatively well when the c…

International Law and Justice and America's War on Terrorism
ACCORDING to figures published recently by Swedish researchers, in World War I some 95 percent of all deaths were suffered by soldiers. In those days armies fought against armies. In World War II the figure dropped to 50 percent. With the deliberate targeting of cities (London, Coventry, Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki), this dramatic increase in the deaths of innocent civilians is not surprising. In the Korean War, 84 percent of those killed were c…
In the Interests of Justice’ and Independent Referral
The powers accorded the prosecutor by the Rome Statute have been the subject of much recent debate. Critics contend that the ex officio powers for triggering jurisdiction allow for abuse. This however ignores the rigorous requirements of the Statute for the appointment of the Prosecutor. Moreover the limited danger posed is far outweighed by the need to provide for an independent, credible Prosecutor. The Prosecutor's power to forego investigatio…
